First successful implantation of a biodegradable metal stent into the left pulmonary artery of a preterm baby

Zartner, Peter, Cesnjevar, Robert, Singer, Helmut, Weyand, Michael·2005·Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions

Abstract

Stent implantation in the youngest patients with a congenital heart disease implicates limitations concerning further vessel growth, the need of staged redilation, and later surgical removal. The search to overcome these restrictions led to open stent designs, with a wide adaptability to the vessel growth and recently to the development of bioabsorbable stent materials. A preterm baby born at 26 weeks of gestation was referred to our clinic following inadvertent ligation of the left pulmonary artery. Despite efficient debanding, the left lung perfusion was absent. Implantation of a biodegradable 3 mm magnesium stent was performed in a hybrid procedure when the baby weighed 1.7 kg. Reperfusion of the left lung was established and persisted throughout the 4-month follow-up period during which the gradual degradation process of the stent completed. Additional interventions, should they become necessary, seem not to be limited. Despite the small size of the baby, the degradation process was clinically well tolerated. The mechanical and degradation characteristics of the magnesium stent proved to be adequate to secure reperfusion of the previously occluded left pulmonary artery. Bioabsorbable stents with different diameters may help develop new strategies in the therapy of vessel stenosis in pediatric patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
