Bilateral ductal stenting in an infant with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect, non-confluent pulmonary arteries, and bilateral arterial duct

Cardiol Young. 2024 May;34(5):1136-1138. doi: 10.1017/S1047951124000313. Epub 2024 Mar 5.

Abstract

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect, non-confluent pulmonary arteries, and bilateral arterial duct is a rare and complex CHD. Physiologic ductal closure may lead to life-threatening hypoxia. We present a case of successful bilateral ductal stenting as a bridge to further lower-risk surgical repair.

Keywords: bilateral arterial duct; ductal stenting; nonconfluent pulmonary arteries; tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia.
