ABSTRACT
Objective. To present the long-term outcomes of double ligation management (simple ligation plus transfictive stitch) of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in adults at the General Hospital of Mexico. Material. Retrospective, observational and descriptive study, in which all patients with a diagnosis of PDA in adults undergoing surgical treatment by the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department Staff at the General Hospital de Mexico between 2010 and 2020 were included. Results. A total of 33 patients with a diagnosis of PDA in adults were included. 74.19% of the techniques were ligation with a transfictive stitch. The main complications were thoracic duct injury with presentation of chylothorax in one case (3.2%), recurrent laryngeal nerve injury manifested as dysphonia in 2 patients (6.5%). They were presented in the cut and suture technique. Early (30 days) and late (6-24 months) mortality was 0%. Conclusions. Double ligation plus transfictive stitch of the ductus is still a safe and effective option for the treatment of PDA in adults.REFERENCES
