Pulmonary artery coming from patent ductus arteriosus (PAPDA) is a congenital heart defect in which the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel that normally closes shortly after birth, remains open. This causes oxygen-rich blood from the aorta to flow into the pulmonary artery, which carries it to the lungs. This can lead to increased pressure in the pulmonary artery, which can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. Treatment for PAPDA typically involves surgery to close the ductus arteriosus.

The most common symptoms of pulmonary artery coming from patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) include:

- Rapid breathing
- Shortness of breath
- Poor feeding
- Sweating
- Fatigue
- Poor weight gain
- Heart murmur
- Heart failure
- High blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension)
- Cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin)

The most common cause of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart defect, meaning it is present at birth. This occurs when the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel that normally closes shortly after birth, remains open. This allows oxygen-rich blood from the left side of the heart to flow back into the lungs, instead of flowing out to the body. This can cause the pulmonary artery to become enlarged, leading to increased pressure in the lungs and other complications.

The primary treatment for pulmonary artery coming from patent ductus arteriosus is surgical closure of the ductus arteriosus. This procedure is usually done through a catheterization procedure, in which a catheter is inserted through a vein in the groin and threaded up to the heart. Once the catheter is in place, a device is used to close the ductus arteriosus. Other treatments may include medications to reduce the amount of blood flowing through the ductus arteriosus, or medications to reduce the pressure in the pulmonary artery. In some cases, a balloon angioplasty may be used to open the ductus arteriosus.

1. Premature birth
2. Low birth weight
3. Congenital heart defects
4. Family history of patent ductus arteriosus
5. Certain genetic syndromes
6. Respiratory infections
7. Exposure to certain medications or toxins during pregnancy

Yes, there are medications and treatments available for pulmonary artery coming from patent ductus arteriosus. The most common treatment is a procedure called a transcatheter closure, which involves inserting a device into the artery to close it off. Other treatments include medications to reduce the pressure in the pulmonary artery, and surgery to repair the defect.
