Postoperative catheter thrombaspiration to open an occluded right Ventricle-To-Pulmonary artery conduit in child
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CARDIO-THORACIC SURGERY(2024)
Abstract
We report on a 6-year-old girl (18 kg/120 cm) who was diagnosed on day 6 postoperative with an occlusive thrombosis of a right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduit in the setting of a Ross procedure that was performed for severe native aortic valve insufficiency secondary to late diagnosis of bacterial endocarditis. We applied the Indigo (R) aspiration system from Penumbra (R) (Alameda, USA) to mechanically dissolve and remove the thrombus, restore flow, gradually wean from extracorporeal support, and replace the conduit after 4 days. The patient experiences good surgical outcomes at three months of follow-up.
