DUCTAL STENTING THROUGH LEFT INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY IN A 5 YEAR OLD MALE WITH PULMONARY VALVE ATRESIA: A CASE REPORT Bee Jane T. Martinez, MD UP-PGH Department of Pediatrics Section of Cardiology
OBJECTIVES To discuss • ductal stenting and its technique • ductal stenting compared to mBTS • different vascular access
THE CASE GENERAL DATA: KB, 5/M Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Valve Atresia with a restrictive vertical PDA supplying the pulmonary arteries
THE CASE - cyanosis at birth - 6 to 10 months - saturations 52% at room air - mBTS ductal stenting
THE CASE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: • dusky lips, RV heave, loud and single S2 with no murmur, cyanotic and clubbed nail beds. • cyanotic and clubbed nail beds
DIAGNOSTICS • 2D-echocardiography showed Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with Pulmonary valve atresia (PVA). The pulmonary arteries were small and confluent and were supplied by vertical ductus
DIAGNOSTICS • Angiogram showed vertical ductus supplying small confluent PAs not accessible for pda stenting from the femoral arteries
THE TECHNIQUE Subclavain Artery Internal Carotid Artery
DISCUSSION • Over the past three decades, the technique of ductal stenting has markedly improved along side developments in catheter and stent technology • Ductal stenting has been almost exclusively done in newborn infants as a short-term palliation.

DISCUSSION • Vascular access • Femoral artery, femoral vein, right axillary or left axillary artery …. • Right carotid arteriotomy …used in low birth weight neonates… • In our patient, the left carotid arteriotomy Alwi M. Stenting the ductus arteriosus: Case selection, technique and possible complications. Ann Pediatr Cardiol. Jan-Jun 2008; 1(1): 38–45 Schneider M, Zartner, Sidiropoulos P, et al. Stent implantation of the arterial duct in newborns with duct-dependent circulation. European Heart Journal. 1998;19: 1401–1409
DISCUSSION • Post ductal stenting, the saturations at room air increased from a baseline of 52% to 85% • Post ductal stenting, there was an improvement in the degree of blood flow toward both PAs. • The child had a rapid recovery and was discharged 24 hours after the procedure. LPA RPA
CONCLUSION • ductal stenting in older children, like those in neonates, can also be safely and effectively performed as an alternative to mBTS • unique technique with low complication rates • hospital stay of the patient was shorter in ductal stenting compared with mBTS
