Term info
Label
Persistent patent ductus venosus
comment
The ductus venosus is a bypass between the umbilical vein and the inferior vena cava in the fetus. The blood flow through this bypass decreases immediately after birth. Functional closure, which is followed by anatomic closure, is virtually complete within a few weeks of birth.
