Pulmonary Artery Growth After Palliation of Congenital Heart Disease With Duct-Dependent Pulmonary Circulation

The aim of this study was to compare the pulmonary artery (PA) growth after arterial duct (AD) stenting versus modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) in neonates with congenital heart disease with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation (CHD-DPC).Arterial duct stenting is increasingly deemed a reliable alternative to surgical shunt in CHD-DPC. A stented duct might better adapt to the PA anatomy than a surgical conduit, thereby promoting a more...
