The ductus arteriosus is a blood vessel present in the fetus but not in a child. It connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta, allowing blood to bypass the non-functioning fetal lungs. After birth, the ductus arteriosus typically closes and becomes the ligamentum arteriosum, a remnant of the fetal circulation.
