摘要
The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) refers to the persistence of a connection between the descending aorta distal to the left subclavian artery and the pulmonary trunk beyond fetal life. Adult congenital heart disease is a rare condition, with asymptomatic cases being particularly uncommon. The following report presents the case of a young adult male, aged 23, who was discovered to possess a patent ductus arteriosus in an incidental manner. The patient presented with an acute chest complaint and was found to be asymptomatic upon examination at the hospital. Based on the preliminary medical information provided, a tentative diagnosis of a ventricular septal defect was established. However, a comprehensive echocardiographic examination revealed the presence of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
