Case Report (n=1)
Prenatal indomethacin for polyhydramnios can cause fetal ductus arteriosus constriction and right heart failure, necessitating close fetal echocardiographic monitoring.
MBBS et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Polyhydramnios (n=1). Indomethacin was evaluated on Constriction of the fetal ductus arteriosus and restoration of amniotic fluid volume. Prenatal administration of indomethacin for polyhydramnios restored amniotic fluid volume but caused constriction of the fetal ductus arteriosus and right heart failure.
