Immediate Tissue Protrusion Following Patent Ductus Arteriosus Stent Placement.
Pediatr Cardiol
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stent placement is a common procedure for children with certain heart conditions.
- A rare complication occurred during a stenting procedure in a newborn with Tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia, where tissue protrusion reduced the stent's lumen size.
- The issue was resolved by inserting a shorter stent within the original one at the site of the tissue protrusion.
Background Diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization plays a significant role in the management of congenital heart defects with acceptable risks. Its role has also evolved in sick children but is associated with higher risks due to technical difficulties and co-morbidity factors. Some of the post-cardiac surgery children who show resistance to conventional management during the early postoperative period usually have residual defects or obstructions.

Outcomes of TPVI with the SAPIEN 3 valve that are insufficiently documented were investigated in the EUROPULMS3 registry of SAPIEN 3-TPVI.
Methods: Patient-related, procedural, and follow-up outcome data were retrospectively assessed in this observational cohort from 35 centres in 15 countries.
Background: Changes in PR intervals after transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TCPVR) have not been thoroughly evaluated in children. This study evaluated the changes in PR and QRS intervals six months after TCPVR in children with congenital heart disease.
Results: This study included 41 patients who underwent TCPVR from 2010 to 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Gabapentinoids, like gabapentin and pregabalin, were classified as Schedule II medications in the UK in 2019 due to concerns about misuse, with a study analyzing 3,051 deaths linked to their use in England.
- A significant number of these deaths involved both prescribed and illicit gabapentinoids, with opioids being present in most cases, indicating a dangerous interaction between the two.
- The study concluded that while gabapentinoids alone rarely cause death, they can lead to fatal outcomes when combined with opioids, highlighting the need for doctors and patients to reconsider co-prescribing practices.
