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.
In October 2013, it was revealed that Revere was battling cancer in the brain, but he continued to perform despite the diagnosis until April 2014. In August 2014, Revere announced that he was officially retiring from the group, though they could continue to tour as Paul Revere's Raiders, led by his son, Jamie Revere. On October 4, 2014, Paul Revere died peacefully at his home in Caldwell, Idaho at the age of 76.
