Abstract

Management of critical congenital heart lesions with pulmonary flow obstruction in the neonatal period presents numerous challenges. Endovascular stenting of the ductus arteriosus (DA) in ductal-dependent pulmonary circulation or right ventrical outflow tract (RVOT) as an alternative to the aorto-pulmonary shunt has become increasingly popular in the last years. The procedural aspects of the reverse anchor-wire technique for DA or RVOT stenting is described by author.
