Right ventricular outflow tract stenting is a valuable intervention in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary stenosis and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries, where promoting native pulmonary arterial growth is crucial for repair. The procedure resulted in improved oxygen saturations and increased z scores for both right and left pulmonary arteries, allowing for further catheterization and successful anatomical repair in some cases.
Objectives: To assess the role of right ventricular outflow tract stenting as the primary intervention in Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary stenosis and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. Background: The management of a subset of infants with Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary stenosis and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries requires a staged approach including rehabilitation of diminutive native pulmonary arteries, conventionally using an aortopulmonary shunt. We share our experience of pulmonary artery rehabilitation with right ventricular outflow tract stenting. Methods: Retrospective review of all patients with Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary stenosis who underwent right ventricular outflow tract stenting as primary intervention over an 8-year period. Results: Ten patients underwent right ventricular outflow tract stent insertion at a median age of 61 days (interquartile range (IQR) 8.3-155 days). Median weight at stent deployment was 4.2 kg (IQR 3.2-5.7 kg). Oxygen saturations improved from a median of 79% (IQR 76-80%) to 92% (IQR 90-95%), p = 0.012. The median right and left pulmonary artery z score increased from -3.51 (IQR -4.59 to -2.80) and -2.07 (IQR -3.72 to 0.15) to a median of -1.17 (IQR -2.26 to 0.16) p < 0.05, and 0.24 (IQR -1.09 to 1.84) p < 0.05, respectively, at subsequent angiogram. Nine patients underwent further catheterisation. Four patients underwent complete anatomical repair. Only one patient required unifocalisation, as most patients had a native supply to all-important lung segments. Conclusion: Right ventricular outflow tract stenting is a useful procedure in the subset of patients with Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary stenosis and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries, where native pulmonary arterial growth is required to facilitate repair.
