An uncorrected PDA may lead to congestive heart failure with increasing age. The ductus arteriosus is a fetal blood vessel that closes soon after birth. In a PDA, the vessel does not close and remains patent (open), resulting in irregular transmission of blood between the aorta and the pulmonary artery.n uncorrected PDA may lead to congestive heart failure with increasing age.

After the large Revere family left the house, it was used as a shop and a tenement for 19th-century Irish, Jewish and Italian immigrants to Boston. In 1902, Revereâs great-grandson purchased the building to ensure its longevity. By 1908 the Paul Revere House had opened as one of Americaâs first historic house museums.
Situated along the Freedom Trail, this two-and-a-half-story wooden house in Boston's North End served as the home of Paul Revere when he set out on April 18, 1775 for that famous ride toward Lexington. Built around 1680, and now recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the Revere House is the city's oldest building.
