Stenting the complex patent ductus arteriosus in tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia: challenges and outcomes.
Future Cardiology 2018 January
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stenting has gained acceptance for palliation in cyanotic congenital heart disease. The PDA in tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia (ToF-PA) arises, in the left aortic arch, from underneath the arch and connects to the proximal left pulmonary artery, often resulting in stenosis. The PDA is usually elongated and tortuous, making stent implantation challenging. Shorter duration of palliation, aggravation of branch pulmonary artery stenosis resulting in poor growth and difficulty at surgery makes ductal stenting controversial. Access via the carotid and axillary artery reduces complexity of the procedure and improves success, with recent data demonstrating good pulmonary artery growth. Advances in bioresorbable stents offer future promise and will likely resolve some controversies surrounding PDA stenting in ToF-PA.
