Abstract
Objective
To describe a combined ligation cum division-suture technique for closure of patent ductus arteriosus.
Technique
The ductus is isolated using hypotensive anaesthesia. A single clamp is applied at the aortic end. The pulmonary arterial end is ligated. Another ligature transfixes the ductus. A mattress suture is passed through the aortic end. The ductus is now divided. The aortic end is closed using a second row of over and over sutures.
Conclusion
Single clamp technique for ligation cum division-suture of patent ductus is simple and safe. (Ind J Thorac Cardiovasc Sure, 2001; 17:258-259)
