The patients were divided into two groups according to their weight at the time of surgery. The complications, morbidity, and mortality rates of each group were compared at postoperative day 30 and at the end of 1 year after surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951121000032_as3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>During the operation, the median weight of the patients was 900 g (IQR 800\u20131125 g), the median age was 21 days (IQR 14.5\u201329 days). The lowest body weight was 460 g. In three patients (3%), there was intraoperative bleeding from the patent ductus arteriosus that required transition to median sternotomy. In one patient (1%) a residual patent ductus arteriosus that required reoperation was observed. Twelve patients (12%) died in the first 30 days postoperatively. Six patients (6%) died between the postoperative day 30 and 1 year. There was no statistically significant difference in the rates of mortality, morbidity, and complication between the groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951121000032_as4\"><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Based on our observations of over a hundred preterm infants with patent ductus arteriosus over a decade, ligation through anterior mini-thoracotomy is the main surgical procedure of choice for this patient group in our clinic.
