Abstract
The open arterial duct has a pathological significance in premature newborns. Closure of the ductus arteriosus is a complex process that includes functional and anatomical closure.Purpose. To identify the features of arterial duct remodeling in premature newborns.Material and methods. We conducted a retrospective clinical and morphological analysis of 35 deceased premature newborns. During their lifetime, all children were examined using clinical and laboratory-instrumental methods. In all cases, autopsies of deceased children were performed with a complex of morphological studies of the arterial duct.Results. It has been established that the open arterial duct in premature newborns plays an important role in increasing respiratory failure. It also necessitates the appointment and conduct of invasive respiratory therapy. The functioning of the arterial duct is facilitated by low partial pressure and blood oxygen saturation levels. Morphofunctional features of arterial duct remodeling were revealed. A positive correlation was established between the indicators of the gas composition of the child’s blood and the thickness of the duct wall.Conclusion. Risk factors for an open arterial duct in premature newborns are the age of the mother over 35 years, threatened miscarriage, prenatal discharge of amniotic fluid, gestational diabetes mellitus, fetoplacental insufficiency, and severe asphyxia at birth. Morphological changes in the form of thickening of the endothelial layer and the formation of intimal pillows, fragmentation and focal necrosis of the internal elastic membrane with the accumulation of mucoid matter, proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells into the subendothelial space reflect the processes of remodeling of the arterial duct.
