    A review of 33 cases

    Abstract

    Thirty-three infants with low birthweights (<2500 g) and respiratory distress had ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus. During a 30-month period there were no deaths resulting from the operation, but 11 (33%) eventually died from complications of immaturity.
