Advanced Imaging Guidance for Ductus Venosus Stenting in Obstructed Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return.

ABSTRACT

Obstructed infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous return is nearly always a surgical emergency in which infants present in severe cardiopulmonary distress. Ductal venosus stenting can provide a temporizing option for premature, low birth weight infants with high risk for surgical complications. In challenging anatomic cases, virtual reality, 3D-printed models, and fusion image guidance can aid in procedural planning and provide support for successful intervention.
