Arterial Duct Stenting in Duct-Dependent Pulmonary Circulation: is Surgical Shunt Still Worthwhile?
Highlights
Arterial Duct Stenting in Duct-Dependent Pulmonary Circulation: is Surgical Shunt Still
It has long been realized that patients with congenital heart malformations resulting in duct-dependent pulmonary circulation would greatly benefit from stabilized pulmonary blood flow in view of spontaneous improvement or later lowerrisk surgical repair
This aim may be achieved for a short period by continuous intravenous prostaglandin E infusion, a longer time stable pulmonary blood flow source must be provided in the vast majority of cases
