Technical Modifications for Ductal Stenting in Neonates with Duct-Dependent Pulmonary Circulation
Worakan Promphan, Shakeel A. Qureshi
Abstract
The ductal stenting (DS) is currently an acceptable palliative treatment in newborns suffering with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation. However, this procedure remains technically a challenge in complex ductal morphology, which may eventually lead to detrimental outcomes. This review is mainly focused on pre-procedural planning, essential instruments and practical approaches for DS, and post-procedural care.
