چکیده

Ductal stenting in neonates with either duct-dependent pulmonary or systemic circulation has become a good alternative for the initial palliation of complex congenital heart disease. Changes of stent and catheter technology (low profile, flexible, premounted stents with good scaffolding), better patient selection and preparation, optimal interventional access and covering the complete length of the duct have significantly improved results.

Stenting the neonatal arterial duct in duct-dependent pulmonary circulation: new techniques, better results.

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to assess a new approach to stent the arterial duct in neonates with a duct-dependent pulmonary circulation. BACKGROUND Previous attempts to stent the neonatal arterial duct were unsatisfactory. Learning from these failures, we speculated that covering the complete length of the duct with current low-profile stents might avoid previous problems. METHODS...

Stenting of the arterial duct: a new approach to palliation for pulmonary atresia.

OBJECTIVE To assess the possibility of maintaining ductal patency in neonates with complex pulmonary atresia by percutaneous implantation of balloon expandable stents. PATIENTS Two duct-dependent neonates with long segment pulmonary atresia, right sided aortic arch, and left sided arterial duct. RESULTS Stents with final diameter of 3.5 or 4 mm and initial length of 7 or 15 mm were successf...

Stent implantation of the arterial duct in newborns with duct-dependent circulation.

AIMS Little is known about the medium term results after stenting of the arterial duct in neonates and infants with duct-dependent cyanotic congenital heart disease. We report the results of stent implantation of the arterial duct in 21 neonates and infants. The defects for which the arterial duct was stented included pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, critical pulmonary stenosis...

Pulmonary artery growth after palliation of congenital heart disease with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation: arterial duct stenting versus surgical shunt.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the pulmonary artery (PA) growth after arterial duct (AD) stenting versus modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) in neonates with congenital heart disease with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation (CHD-DPC). BACKGROUND Arterial duct stenting is increasingly deemed a reliable alternative to surgical shunt in CHD-DPC. A stented duct might better ad...

Transcatheter stenting of arterial duct in duct-dependent congenital heart disease.

INTRODUCTION Critical congenital heart diseases (CHD) are mostly duct-dependent and require stable systemic-pulmonary communication. In order to maintain patency of the ductus arteriosus (DA), the first line treatment is Prostaglandin E1 and the second step is the surgical creation of aortic-pulmonary shunt. To reduce surgical risk in neonates with the critical CHD, transcatheter stenting of DA...
