Wheezing is often occurred in infants and young children with respiratory infections. For children with recurrent wheezing, after controlling their wheezing, they should be alert to rare diseases. Here, We report a case of wheezing following the application of the patent ductus arteriosus occlusion device ADOII (AGA Medical Corporation, Golden Valley,MN) with the occlusion device pressing against the inner diameter of the adjacent left main bronchus. After the pressure end of the occluder was removed, the child’s wheezing was effectively relieved

Abstract In neonates and infants, the trachea and main bronchus may be compressed by adjacent cardiovascular structures. Compression of the main bronchi by the patent ductus arteriosus is rare and causes a variety of respiratory problems. Surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus that compresses the main bronchus as soon as possible is an effective treatment option. Rapid clinical recovery is expected after surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus. We present a case of patent ductus arteriosus which caused obstruction of the left main bronchus.

Patent ductus arteriosus produces symptoms in infancy which vary widely in kind and severity. Five patients observed during the past five years have been described briefly to illustrate these variations. One infant died at the age of one month with an aneurysm of the ductus. Another patient, with atypical signs, had a sevede degree of congestive failure until surgical treatment provided dramatic relief. In the other patients symptoms were limited to retardation of growth, frequent respiratory infections and atypical murmurs until the later months of infancy. In spite of the variation of physical signs and of the radiologic and electrocardiographic findings, an accurate diagnosis can often be made early in life. When doubt exists, and especially in infants suffering from cardiac failure, cardiac catheterization, aortography or angiocardiography must be employed to secure information necessary for immediate surgical treatment. Emphasis is placed upon the fact that patent ductus can be the sole lesion causing congestive failure in infancy.
