Late Aortic Obstruction Post Patent Ductus Arteriosus Closure Managed with Renata Minima Stent.

Descending aorta obstruction is a known though uncommon event that can occur post patent ductus arteriosus device closure in premature infants. This adverse event has generally been managed with surgical repair or stent placement if the child is large enough for the vascular access needed. We present two cases of late aortic obstruction associated with device closure of a patent ductus arteriosus managed with the Renata Minima stent. Key Words: PDA, Coarctation, Renata Minima Stent.
