Abstract
Neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and high-risk factors for an open Norwood procedure may benefit from a hybrid stage I procedure. The presence of a giant patent ductus arteriosus prevents safe deployment of the ductus arteriosus stent. We describe a new technique that involves banding the patent ductus arteriosus, therefore allowing stent implantation during hybrid stage I palliation.
