Coarctation of the aorta in children under 3 months of age is usually treated surgically. However, there are clinical scenarios in which stenting of native or recurrent coarctation may become necessary in this age group.
Four cases illustrate possible indications: left ventricular dysfunction increasing the operative risk, thrombus formation after coarctation surgery, patient size (i.e. in premature babies), and retrograde arch obstruction after hybrid palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In all babies, coarctation stenting was carried out successfully without complications.
Coarctation stenting can be carried out safely in small children. Usually, the stent has to be removed or redilated later. Results are encouraging.
3个月以下儿童的主动脉缩窄通常采用手术治疗。然而,在某些临床情况下,该年龄组的原发性或复发性主动脉缩窄可能需要进行支架置入术。
四个病例说明了可能的适应症:左心室功能障碍增加手术风险、缩窄手术后血栓形成、患者体型(即早产儿)以及左心发育不全综合征混合姑息治疗后逆行性主动脉弓梗阻。在所有婴儿中,主动脉缩窄支架置入术均成功实施,无并发症。
小儿主动脉缩窄支架置入术可安全进行。通常,支架以后必须取出或再次扩张。结果令人鼓舞。
