Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: (1) gestational age <32 weeks, 4~7 days. (2) haemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) met the diagnostic criteria: Continuous left-to-right blood flow is present in the ductus arteriosus, the diameter of the ductus is =1.5 mm or the ratio of the diameter of the ductus to the diameter of the left pulmonary artery is =0.5, and at least one of the following criteria is met: 1) the ratio of the left atrial diameter to the diameter of the aortic root is =1.5; 2) Blood flow rate in catheter = 2.5m /s or mean pressure difference at both ends of catheter =8 mmHg; 3) diastolic blood regurgitation in descending aorta

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) There were contraindications for the use of cyclooxygenase inhibitors (urine volume 141.5 µmol/L, glutamic-pyrugal transaminase >40) U/L, percutaneous oxygen saturation <90%, shock, diffuse intravascular coagulation, stage ? to III necrotizing enterocolitis, grade ? to ? intraventricular hemorrhage, hyperbilirubinemia requiring blood exchange, intestinal perforation, etc.) or use of cyclooxygenase inhibitors before randomization. (2) Persistent pulmonary hypertension (right-to-left shunt in =33% of cardiac cycles). (3) Severe cyanotic congenital heart disease (transposition of great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot, etc.). (4) Congenital malformations of respiratory system (atresia of posterior nostril, cleft palate, tracheoesophageal fistula, etc.). (5) Severe congenital malformations (trisomy 21 syndrome, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, omphalocele, etc.). (6) Congenital abnormalities associated with abnormal neurodevelopmental outcomes. (7) Vital signs are extremely unstable.
