A. A 3.5 mm Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is a heart condition in which a blood vessel that connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery, which is open during fetal development, fails to close after birth. The likelihood of a PDA resolving on its own can depend on various factors including the age of the child, the size of the PDA, and the presence of symptoms.In some cases, smaller PDAs may close on their own as the child grows. However, a PDA of 3.5 mm is considered relatively large, and it may be less likely to close spontaneously. The decision on how to manage a PDA, whether through observation, medication, or a surgical procedure, should be made by a pediatric cardiologist after a thorough evaluation of the child's specific condition.If your child has been diagnosed with a 3.5 mm PDA or if you have concerns about their heart health, it's important to consult with a pediatric cardiologist who can provide the most appropriate guidance and treatment options based on the individual case.
