ABSTRACT
In neonates and infants, the trachea and main bronchus may be compressed by adjacent cardiovascular structures. Compression of the main bronchi by the patent ductus arteriosus is rare and causes a variety of respiratory problems. Surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus that compresses the main bronchus as soon as possible is an effective treatment option. Rapid clinical recovery is expected after surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus. We present a case of patent ductus arteriosus which caused obstruction of the left main bronchus.
