Summary Judging by the present series and the literature, intracardiac phonocardiography is useful in the differential diagnosis of patent ductus arteriosus in the following instances: 1. to demonstrate a small ductus which cannot be diagnosed from the oxygen values or aortography (Fig. 9); 2. in high‐pressure ductus arteriosus when the auscultation findings and oxygen values in the pulmonary artery are atypical (Fig. 10); 3. for differential diagnosis of machinery‐type murmurs on the chest not caused by ductus arteriosus but by other defects (they have no machinery murmur in a typical location in the pulmonary artery); 4. to exclude other conditions causing elevation of the oxygen content in the pulmonary artery (high ventricular septal defects) and, according to the literature, aortopulmonary fistula, which does not cause a machinery murmur (Laurens et al. 1958).
