Abstract :
The window ductus , an atypical type of patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) is a characteristically large in size( > 2cm ) with no recognizable length, characteristic continuation of main pulmonary artery with aortic arch and absence of internal ductal tissue. Surgical safety and effectiveness of its closure can be increased by using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and hypothermic total circulatory arrest (HTCA) via median sternotomy.
