Cardiol Young. 2018 Feb;28(2):344-346. doi: 10.1017/S1047951117001871. Epub 2017 Nov 7.

Abstract

In patients with ductal-dependent CHD, ductal restriction can be life-threatening. We present the use of urgent hybrid palliation involving placement of bilateral pulmonary artery bands and ductus arteriosus stent implantation in a 1.5 kg premature infant with interrupted aortic arch and ductal restriction.

Keywords: Cardiac catheterisation/intervention; hybrid procedure; interrupted aortic arch; off-pump surgery; prematurity.
