Abstract

The authors report a case of a 14-day-old infant patient with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with pulmonary hypertension. Accidental clipping of the left pulmonary artery (LPA) during intended PDA closure was revealed, and subsequent urgent PDA closure and releasing a clip of the LPA were conducted. During surgeries we measured somatic regional oxyhemoglobin saturation (rSO2) values and change in those might be a key for early diagnosis of accidental clipping of the LPA. These findings suggest that we should understand the risk of accidental closure of the LPA during PDA surgery and somatic rSO2 values will provide information for early diagnosis of critical complication.
