Deformation and stenosis of the sinus-SuperFlex-DS stent after ductal stenting for the hybrid stage 1 procedure

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2021 Sep;98(3):533-539. doi: 10.1002/ccd.29806. Epub 2021 Jun 2.

Abstract

We present five cases of sinus-SuperFlex-DS stent stenosis during early follow up that resulted in inadequate ductal patency and required urgent re-stenting with a balloon-expandable stent. This causes concern that these stents lack sufficient radial force against ductal constriction and if used need to be kept under close scrutiny.

Keywords: ductal stent stenosis; hybrid procedure for single ventricle; sinus Superflex self-expanding stent.
