Follow-up evaluation was performed on two groups of children, all premature infants who had undergone surgical ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus in the first days of life (Group I, 12 months postligation; Group II, 4 years postligation). Overall, two of 11 patients had significant functional scoliosis associated with weakness of shoulder girdle musculature and three additional patients had functional weakness on the affected side but with normal vertebral alignment. Patients post-patent ductus ligation should be observed for this long-term complication.
对两组儿童进行了随访评估，所有儿童均为早产儿，在出生后的头几天接受了动脉导管未闭手术结扎（第一组，结扎后12个月；第二组，结扎后4年）。总体而言，11例患者中有2例患有与肩胛带肌肉无力相关的严重功能性脊柱侧凸，另外3例患者患侧有功能性肌无力，但椎体排列正常。动脉导管结扎术后的患者应观察这种长期并发症。
