Introduction: Ductal stenting in late presenters with transposition of great arteries with intact ventricular septum retrains the left ventricle before arterial switch operation. However, the experience is limited for its efficacy and safety. This study aims to highlight the efficacy and safety of ductal stenting for retraining the left ventricle.
Methods: Eight children with transposition of great arteries-intact ventricular septum and regressed left ventricle underwent ductal stenting. Serial echocardiographic measurements of left ventricle shape, mass, volume, free wall thickness, and function were done, and arterial switch operation was performed once the left ventricle was adequately prepared. Post-operative outcome in terms of duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay, and improvement in left ventricle function were monitored.
Results: The procedure was successful in all patients. Babies were divided into two groups on basis of age at ductal stenting (group 1 age less than 90 days and group 2 age more than 90 days) and were evaluated for the degree of left ventricle retraining as evidenced by echocardiographic parameters and post-operative variables. The left ventricle posterior wall thickness and mass index after ductal stenting increased significantly in both the groups. Postoperatively, one baby of group two expired after seven days due to severe left ventricle dysfunction. Rest babies had an uneventful post-operative ICU stay with no statistical difference in the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation or ICU stay. On six-month follow-up, all surviving babies were doing well with normal left ventricle function.
Conclusion: Ductal stenting is a good alternative measure as compared to surgical procedures for left ventricle retraining in transposition of great arteries with regressed left ventricle.
