Abstract

The authors describe a case of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) complicated by infective endarteritis due to a vegetation in pulmonary artery in a 14-year-old child. Only few cases of vegetation in the pulmonary artery shown by echocardiography have thus far been reported. All patients with PDA have infective endarteritis risk, regardless of the ductus size.
