Asymptomatic patent ductus arteriosus in a 41-year-old woman.
Patent ductus arteriosus is a rare adult congenital heart disease, especially asymptomatic cases are uncommon in older ages. We report here the case of a 41-year-old woman, who was incidentally found to have a patent ductus arteriosus. The patient also was asymptomatic. For anatomical demonstration, computerized tomography angiography was performed and then surgical intervention was applied.
