Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin can be used to close the ductus arteriosus in premature infants, children and adults, but nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are not suitable for full-term infants, children and adults with patent ductus arteriosus.
2. Percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus occlusion
can be used to close the ductus arteriosus with occluders such as coils and mushroom umbrellas. This operation is a relatively good surgical plan with small trauma, good effect and quick recovery.

is a surgical procedure to close the ductus arteriosus. If the patient has severe infection, it needs to control the infection for several months before surgery.
