Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)

This exhibit displays an anterior cross-sectional view of the heart with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). PDA is a heart defect and characterized by an opening between two major blood vessels around the heart, allowing the blood to skip circulation to the lungs. This leads to deoxygenated blood passing directly into the aorta through the PDA.
