Abstract
PDA ligation significantly changes BFV in the MCA, CA, and SMA. In the MCA vascular tone is acutely modulated, with no change in AV at 3 hours. In the CA and SMA, AV increases acutely after ligation. These different patterns of change in BFV suggest region-specific adaptation to surgical PDA closure.
