Coarctation of the aorta-stenting via Glidesheath Slender in a newborn with recoarctation early after a Norwood operation

Abstract

AbstractIn this article, we report on a newborn with hypoplastic left heart syndrome in whom recoarctation of the aorta was treated with a bare metal stent (Cook Formula 414 Stent) in the early postoperative period after a Norwood procedure. To reduce the risk for scarring and occluding the femoral artery the stent was implanted via 5F Glidesheath Slender sheath.
