Abstract
A second course of OIBU seems effective and safe for use in preterm infants with hsPDA. Although a third course of OIBU results in PDA closure in some additional patients, the difference is not significant. Thus, surgical ligation should be considered after the second course, especially in patients with signs of severe heart failure.
