Persistent fetal circulation is a congenital condition in which some of the fetal circulatory pathways fail to close after birth, resulting in the persistence of high-pressure fetal circulation and low-pressure adult circulation. this results in the failure of the pulmonary circulation to develop properly, leading to inadequate oxygenation of the blood.
