| Sumario: | Cyanotic congenital heart lesions with duct-dependent pulmonary blood flow often require early intervention. Surgical palliation remains the treatment of choice, but is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality.

We discuss the outcomes of published data and the practical aspects of ductal stenting. |
