BACKGROUND: In recent years, transcatheter implantation devices to restrict pulmonary arterial flow have emerged as a potential alternative to surgical pulmonary artery banding.
CASE PRESENTATION: A term male was diagnosed with critical aortic stenosis (AS) and severely reduced left ventricle (LV) systolic function. He underwent aortic balloon valvuloplasty on day 2 of life, resulting in some antegrade flow, but LV ejection fraction only improved to 15%. He remained ductal dependent for systemic perfusion. Pulmonary over-circulation ensued with systemic steal evident in his second week of life. On day 14, he underwent a transcatheter stage 1 procedure including the placement of bilateral pulmonary flow restrictor (PFR) devices and ductal stenting. Post-procedure, he improved clinically, weaned off respiratory support, and transitioned to oral feeds while awaiting cardiac transplant. Twelve days later, he received a donor heart, with an uneventful recovery. He is now 3 years post-transplant and has excellent graft function, and his transplant course has been unremarkable.
CONCLUSION: Transcatheter-based palliation for a neonate with critical AS, utilizing endoluminal PFRs, proved effective in stabilizing the infant and successfully bridging him to transplant. This highlights an opportunity for the utilization of PFRs in neonatal conditions where control of pulmonary blood flow is imperative as a bridge to transplantation.
