Patent ductus arteriosus in a Newfoundland puppy
Patent ductus arteriosus, or PDA, is a condition caused by failure of the fetal ductus arteriosis to functionally close within days of birth and usually results in left-to-right shunting of blood. It is one of the most commonly recognized congenital cardiac lesions in dogs, occurring more frequently...
