Abstract Objectives: To retrospectively review the outcome of stent placement in neonates with a vertical
ductus, present a technique of ductal stenting via the axillary artery and compare it to ductal stening via the femoral venous access.
Design: Nineteen patients with duct-dependent pulmonary circulations through a vertical ductus
arteriosus were treated with stent implantation. Those patients were retrospectively included in
the study. In the first nine of these cases, stent delivery was done transvenously. In the latter ten
cases, we favored the axillary artery access to the transvenous approach for stenting the vertical
ductus arteriosus. Wire-target technique was used to attain… More >
