Unusual ultrasound finding of patent ductus arteriosus in a preterm infant.

abstract：:Various surgical techniques have been proposed for the repair of supravalvular pulmonary stenosis (SVPS) in pediatric populations. Whereas growth potential should be promised, excessive expansion under the presence of undiminished high pulmonary arterial pressure should be avoided. The authors applied all-autologous t...
