This article reviews the physiology of the ductus arteriosus, the pathophysiology of the
patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and the role advanced imaging such as computed …

To this day, controversy still exists regarding the optimal method to treat symptomatic
neonates and infants with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Symptomatic (severely cyanotic or ductal …

The use of pediatric cardiothoracic CT for congenital heart disease (CHD) was traditionally
limited to the morphologic evaluation of the extracardiac thoracic vessels, lungs, and …

Background Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stent placement and systemic-pulmonary
surgical shunt procedure can both be performed as palliation for infants with duct-dependent …

Background To evaluate whether a quantitative curvature threshold can contribute to risk
stratification of ductal stenting in patients with a duct-dependent pulmonary circulation …

Patent ductus arteriosus stenting for ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow is a technically
challenging neonatal procedure to maintain a stable pulmonary circulation. Pre-procedural …

The ductal stenting (DS) is currently an acceptable palliative treatment in newborns suffering
with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation. However, this procedure remains technically a …

The ductus arteriosus is important to fetal circulation. Failure to close at birth is a common
event. In this educational pictorial essay, we illustrate the association of the ductus …

Palliative procedures, either surgical or transcatheter, aim to improve oxygen saturation …

Pulmonary arteries'(PAs) growth can be promoted by stenting of patent ductus arteriosus
(PDA). This may result in better angle between the PDA and the PAs, allowing improved …
