Figure 1 Echocardiography revealed a PDA with continuous flow and diameter of 6–8 mm. A parasternal short-axis (PSAX) view at the level of the great vessels, with a focus on the pulmonary artery, demonstrated continuous flow through the patent ductus arteriosus, which connects the descending aorta to the main pulmonary artery, as shown on color Doppler imaging. The red circle indicates the patent ductus arteriosus, with a diameter of 6–8 mm.
