Key result
Hybrid fluoroscopy-free echo-guided stenting successfully treats native aortic coarctation in a 920-gram premature infant.
Why the study?
Therapeutic options are limited for managing extremely low-birth-weight infants with critical aortic coarctation despite high doses of prostaglandin infusion.
Demonstrates the feasibility of fluoroscopy-free, echocardiography-guided hybrid stenting for critical aortic coarctation in extremely low-birth-weight infants.
May offer a therapeutic option in refractory neonatal coarctation; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Therapeutic options are limited for the management of extremely low-birth-weight infants with critical aortic coarctation despite high doses of prostaglandin infusion. We report successful hybrid, fluoroscopy-free, echocardiography-guided primary stenting of native aortic coarctation in a 920-grams premature infant.
