Abstract
AbstractIn neonates and infants with a shunt-dependent pulmonary circulation, stenosis of the shunt needs to be treated aggressively to prevent a fatal outcome. We report the technique and outcome in seven consecutive neonates and infants with Blalock–Taussig shunt stenosis, who were treated with intraluminal stents. Stenting of classical or modified Blalock–Taussig shunts is technically feasible and can be used as a rescue procedure. Neointimal dissection is less likely compared with balloon angioplasty of the shunt alone.
