Stent implantation of an unusual morphology patent ductus arteriosus via Glidesheath slender

We describe our experience with a newborn with right atrial isomerism and dextrocardia, complete atrioventricular septal defect, aortic outlet right ventricle with pulmonary atresia, right aortic arch, and a PDA from the left innominate artery. Because the PDA was long and tortuous, we preferred placing three short stents instead of a single long stent. The procedure applied the femoral artery approach with a Glidesheath Slender to decrease arterial injuries. PDA stenting in challenging morphologies can be performed successfully using multiple short stents and via Glidesheath Slenders.PMID:34623303 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2021.21038
