Abstract

Patent ductal arteriosus stenting is an alternative procedure in patients with pulmonary-ductal-dependent circulation. Stent embolization is one of the major acute complications of ductal stenting procedure. We describe the case of a stent embolization into the abdominal aorta during the deployment of ductal stent in a premature low-weight infant (1.850 kg), affected by critical pulmonary stenosis and duct-dependent pulmonary circulation. The stent was successfully retrieved through a 4F Flexor catheter without vascular complication by using a new approach.
