This week we delve into the world of cardiovascular surgery when we check in with the group from Nationwide Children's Hospital and review a novel approach to managing the dreaded LPA stenosis or hypoplasia in the HLHS patient. Why does the LPA seem to be small or stenosed in this condition and how does a preemptive stent address this? Why can't standard PA plasty be used for this particular indication as is used in TOF/MAPCA's? Does one stent size fit all HLHS patients? These are amongst the many questions posed to the first author of this week's work, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Sergio Carillo.
