Abstract:
We implanted two sinus Superflex DS© stents in a systemic non-stenotic arterial duct of a newborn with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Forty-eight hours later an important collapse of the stent was detected and treated with a balloon expandable stent. Sinus Superflex DS© has been specifically designed for systemic ducts. This complication generates doubts about its radial force in this scenario.
