Innovative Use of Coronary GuideLiner to Facilitate Patent Ductus Arteriosus Stent Reintervention

Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: This is the first report using a coronary GuideLiner (Teleflex) to overcome the challenge of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stent crossing and restenting. We present 2 patients, a 3-month-old and a 15-month-old, with complex cyanotic heart disease and ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow who previously underwent PDA stenting and required reintervention on the PDA stent. Historically, patients who require reintervention for PDA stenting have been challenging, especially when restenting is needed. The use of the GuideLiner was a game-changer in these 2 cases.
