초록
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in monkeys is very rare. A 9-year-old male Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata ) had an hourglass-shaped PDA with a large luminal diameter. Morphological analysis of the vessel cast and heart revealed cardiovascular pathological changes including pulmonary artery hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy. However, left ventricle hypertrophy or left atrial enlargement were not observed. This macaque had showed no clinical signs of PDA during its lifetime. We present the first documented case of solitary PDA in a male macaque.
