Abstract
The original Palmaz balloon expandable stent has been used extensively for the treatment of vascular stenoses in older children and young adults. Placement of the Palmaz stent in infants and small children, however, is limited by stent inflexibility, large delivery sheath size, and concerns about creating fixed obstructions after the placement of small diameter stents in growing patients. New Palmaz Corinthian stents were placed through 6 French sheaths in four high-risk patients with postoperative right ventricular outflow obstruction. Patients were not considered candidates for surgical repair. Median patient age and weight were 17 months (range 5–32 months) and 7.7 kg (range 4.6–11.1 kg), respectively. Median fluoroscopy time was 58.2 min (range 55.2–172 min). No complications were encountered. In each case, successful stent placement was achieved, and surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass was avoided. Palmaz Corinthian stents are more flexible, require a smaller delivery sheath, have equal or increased radial strength, and can be maximally expanded to a greater cross sectional area when compared to the original Palmaz stent. These characteristics make the Palmaz Corinthian stent a reasonable alternative for use in a select group of infants and small children who are not candidates for surgical repair of postoperative right ventricular outflow obstruction.
