Patent ductus arteriosus can lead to bronchitis, as this condition can cause recurrent respiratory infections, particularly bronchitis and bronchopneumonia. This is a type of congenital heart disease, and it is recommended that patients undergo regular echocardiography, especially cardiac ultrasound. If the closure of the patent ductus arteriosus is delayed, early surgical treatment is required. This condition can sometimes affect the growth and development of children, and it mainly causes repeated respiratory infections, including bronchitis, particularly issues with pulmonary inflammation, which require early management.
