The ductus arteriosus should close on its own within a few days after birth. When the opening does not close, this connection between arteries is considered a patent, or open, ductus arteriosus. Small connections may not cause problems, but larger connections can cause a range of symptoms and require closure.
The word "patent" means open. The ductus arteriosus is a blood vessel that allows blood to go around the baby's lungs before birth. Soon after the infant is born and the lungs fill with air, the ductus arteriosus is no longer needed.
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart. This hole exists in everyone before birth, but most often closes shortly after being born. PFO is what the hole is called when it fails to close naturally after a baby is born.
The degree to which BLOOD VESSELS are not blocked or obstructed. Year introduced: 1987.
A small patent ductus arteriosus often doesn't cause problems and might never need treatment. However, a large, untreated patent ductus arteriosus can let oxygen-poor blood move the wrong way. This can weaken the heart muscle, causing heart failure and other complications.
Patent ductus arteriosus, or PDA, is a heart defect that can develop soon after birth. It affects the way blood flows through a baby's lungs. Mild PDA might not need treatment, but some children with the defect may require catheterization or surgery.
Abstract. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a rare diagnosis in adults, since symptoms and signs usually occur in infancy and most cases are treated shortly after diagnosis.
Additionally, if an applicant wants to add new features or embodiments they did not include in the original patent application into either the specification or the claims, it is unlikely the applicant could amend the application to include the new features during prosecution, as this would unfairly allow the applicant ...
A nonprovisional patent application is normally considered the "regular" utility patent application. It's what you file to get the USPTO to review your utility application and grant your patent. A provisional patent application, on the other hand, does not get reviewed.
A provisional patent lasts only 12 months. If you don't file your non-provisional patent application within that 12-month time period, your invention will lose its patent pending status. At that time, someone else can come in and patent your invention. On the other hand, a non-provisional utility patent lasts 20 years.
