Congenital Heart Disease, 11/19/09
Desai T et al. – The RV–PA conduit stenosis is a life–threatening complication after the modified Norwood Stage I procedure. This may require urgent surgery to replace the conduit or to perform a cavo–pulmonary shunt but as an alternative, transcatheter stent placement can be used with equal effectiveness and with a low risk of complications. The catheter approach is less invasive and the results show that it is an excellent option to relieve the stenosis even in the right–sided RV–PA conduit.
