[Patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonary artery endarteritis].
We describe a seven year old girl with echocardiographic diagnosis of pulmonary artery endarteritis as a complication of a patent ductus arteriosus, confirmed at surgery. This case illustrates the necessity of complete surgical resection of the infectious source as a way to avoid other complications such as pulmonary embolism.
