Prolonged treatment with prostaglandin in an infant born with extremely low weight
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 July 2005
Abstract
We describe an infant with duct-dependent cardiac disease diagnosed prenatally who was born prematurely, and at extremely low weight. Treatment by infusion of prostaglandin maintained ductal patency for 66 days, permitting weight to be gained whilst under the care of a regional unit for neonatal intensive care prior to transfer for palliative cardiac surgery.
