Margin between success and failure of PDA stenting for duct-dependent pulmonary circulation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stenting is a therapeutic modality in patients with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation with reported success rates from 80-100%. The current study aims to assess the outcome and the indicators of success for PDA stenting in different ductal morphologies using various approaches.

Methods

A prospective cohort study from a single tertiary center presented from January 2018 to December 2019 that included 96 consecutive infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary circulation and palliated with PDA stenting. Patients were divided according to PDA origin into 4 groups: Group 1: PDA from proximal descending aorta, Group 2: from undersurface of aortic arch, Group 3: opposite the subclavian artery, Group 4: opposite the innominate/b
