==Overview==
==Overview==
Patent ductus arteriosus, or PDA, is a heart condition that is normal but reverses soon after [[birth]]. In a persistent PDA, there is an irregular transmission of blood between two of the most important [[arteries]] ([[aorta]] and [[pulmonary artery]]) in close proximity to the [[heart]]. Although the ductus arteriosus normally seals off within a few days, in PDA, the newborn's ductus arteriosus does not close, but remains patent.


The image below shows the gross anatomy of heart with patent ductus arteriosus.
