INTRODUCTION:
Wheezing is a common symptom of
respiratory infections in infants
and young children, and about 30 percent of children develop wheezing
from respiratory infections by the age of three【1】 . In
addition to infection, the Anatomic structure is abnormal, such as:
Extrinsic to airway,Lymphadenopathy, Tumor,Diaphragmatic
hernia,Vascular ring/aberrant vessel,Intrinsic to
airway,Tracheomalaci, Foreign body, Endobronchial tuberculosis, Vocal
cord dysfunction, Bronchopulmonary dysplasia,Congestive heart failure,
Congenital lobar emphysema and Genetic/metabolic diseases also caused
wheezing【2】 .
Congenital heart disease is an important risk factor for infants
hospitalized for wheezing【3】 . Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
is the third most common congenital heart disease in children[4]. Interventional therapy is an effective way to treat
patent ductus arteriosus and can reduce the risk of hospitalization for
pneumonia or wheezing in children with PDA【5,6 】.
However, this paper reports a case of wheezing due to obstruction
pressure on the airway after interventional treatment of patent ductus
arteriosus. This has not been reported before, and a review of relevant
literature was also carried out.
