Abstract:
A newborn with tricuspid atresia and pulmonary atresia underwent ductal stenting. The aortic end of the ductus was not completely covered and was wide open; the baby was discharged on dual antiplatelets. The baby presented after a month with desaturation, and an angiogram showed extensive thrombus in the stent and the right pulmonary artery. The angle formed by the stent with the uncovered aortic end is likely to have precipitated the thrombus.
