Abstract Background: Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stents have been used as palliation in patients
with severe tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Radiofrequency perforation of the RVOT has also been
described in patients with pulmonary atresia (PA)/ventricular septal defect (VSD). However, RVOT
stenting in conjunction with radiofrequency perforation as a means for establishing reliable pulmonary blood flow in patients with PA/VSD has not previously been reported.
Objectives: Our aim is to report our experience with using perforation of plate-like pulmonary
valve atresia combined with stenting of RVOT as an alternative and equally efficacious intervention for infants with PA/VSD, as compared to a… More >
