Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has become very common in modern nurseries in recent years. The favorite methods of managing it are either doing nothing, giving indomethacin, or surgical closure. The initial enthusiasm for the use of indomethacin to induce closure is now being tempered as a result of experience. Early surgical ligation of PDA, especially that complicating respiratory distress syndrome, is considered too aggressive for extremely small preterm infants, and for the management of infants having congestive heart failure.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most common congenital vascular abnormalities in the dog. In veterinary medicine, surgical ligation (SL) and transarterial occlusion (TO) are two possible treatments that require general anesthesia. Two 4-month-old dogs were anesthetized for the correction of PDA, one by SL and the other by TO. Two different anesthetic and analgesic protocols were used, and were chosen to avoid potential complications. This case report describes two possible anesthetic approaches for PDA corrective surgery (SL and TO).
