Neonatal Cyanosis Due to PDA Dependent Pulmonary Circulation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Outcomes for Patent Ductus Arteriosus Stenting in Neonates With Duct-Dependent Pulmonary Circulation: A Prospective Study at Sohag University Hospital
After echocardiography confirmation of PDA dependent pulmonary circulation in cyanotic neonates, catheter-guided PDA stent implantation will be done. Under general Anasthesia and after discontinuation of prostaglandin 4-6 hours before procedure, obtain vascular access and unfractionated heparin is given, then duct is accessed via a cut pig-tail or Judkins right [JR] catheter, and is crossed by PTCA wire to be carefully placed in the left or right branch pulmonary arteries, choose proper stent diameter and length, place the stent and confirm it's position, NICU admission for the neonate with heparin infusion for 24-48 hrs and acetylsalicylic acid is given then follow up the patient by pulse oximeter and echocardiography
