It is extremely rare to observe aneurysmal changes in patients with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), especially in adults. If left untreated, a PDA aneurysm can increase the risk of life-threatening complications, including rupture, dissection, esophageal fistula, and infection. Following is a description of successful surgical repair in a 55-year-old man with PDA aneurysm compressing the esophagus. Histologically, the aneurysmal wall showed mild thickening of the intima and media with hyperplastic smooth muscle cells, but no destructive changes were observed.
在动脉导管未闭(PDA)患者中观察到动脉瘤样改变极为罕见,尤其是在成人中。如果不进行治疗,PDA动脉瘤会增加危及生命的并发症的风险,包括破裂、夹层形成、食管瘘和感染。以下是一名55岁男性因PDA动脉瘤压迫食管而成功进行手术修复的描述。组织学上,动脉瘤壁显示内膜和中膜轻度增厚,平滑肌细胞增生,但未观察到破坏性改变。
