Case report and images in cardiology : Shone's complex variant associated with a patent ductus arteriosus : Simultaneous treatment of coarctation and patent ductus arteriosus using a covered stent

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Shone’s complex is a rare cardiac anomaly consisting of \nfour obstructive lesions of the left heart: supramitral \nmembrane/ring; parachute mitral valve; subaortic stenosis; \nand coarctation of the aorta. We report on an 18 year-old \nwoman with a variant of Shone’s complex, associated with \na large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA ) and pulmonary \nhypertension. She underwent a successful percutaneous \ntherapeutic catheterisation for the treatment of the coarctation \nof the aorta and the large PDA using a 45mm \ncovered stent. To our knowledge, this is the first reported \ncase where a covered stent was deployed to treat a native \ncoarctation of the aorta and a PDA in a patient who also \nhad a parachute mitral valve and a bicuspid aortic valve.
