Stenting of bilateral arterial ducts in complex congenital heart disease

Pediatric Cardiology
G SantoroR Calabró

Abstract

Bilateral arterial ducts serving nonconfluent pulmonary arteries is a very rare pattern of pulmonary blood flow in congenital heart disease with pulmonary atresia. In this setting, neonatal ductal closure might result in abrupt pulmonary hypoperfusion and life-threatening systemic hypoxia, thereby indicating emergent surgical palliation or repair. However, percutaneous arterial duct stenting might be an alternative to surgery, especially in high-risk patients. This article reports on two critical neonates with complex heart disease and discontinuous pulmonary arteries dependent on bilateral arterial ducts who successfully underwent transcatheter ductal stenting as first-step palliation toward lower-risk corrective surgery.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
