Two cases of the calcified PDA were experienced in subjects aged more than 50 years. A 63-year-old woman was successfully operated upon. A Fogarty's balloon catheter was wedged into the PDA through the ductus after a pulmonary arteriotomy under cardiopulmonary (CP) bypass. A 57-year-old woman was safely operated. PDA was repaired under partial CP bypass with Bio-pump. Postoperative courses of these cases were uneventful. Brief review of surgical treatment for PDA was given.
