d) haemodynamic assessment of the pulmonary valve gradient; e) selection of the appropriate balloon size. Accepted practice is
to use a balloon that is 1.2-1.4 times the diameter of the
pulmonary valve annulus. Longer balloons give more stability
during valvuloplasty, with 20mm-long balloons generally used
in neonates and infants, 30mm-long balloons in children and
40mm-long balloons in adolescents and adults.
Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty is generally a safe and effective
procedure, with a low complication rate. Complications are more

common in neonates or infants with the most severe pulmonary valve stenosis. Rare complications include right bundle branch block, femoral
venous obstruction, injury to the tricuspid valve, pulmonary regurgitation and balloon rupture. A flow-directed catheter, such as a balloon wedge catheter, can be
used to cross the tricuspid valve and subsequently a soft-tipped wire to cross the pulmonary valve prior to positioning the balloon angioplasty catheter. Whilst this may be difficult or time consuming in very small patients, the risk of not doing so could result in the catheter and or wire passing through the chordae of the tricuspid valve. This in turn may result in damage to these structures when the balloon catheter is advanced or retrieved through the right ventricle.
14 What are the indications for pulmonary artery
angioplasty and stent placement?
Abnormalities of the pulmonary arteries are involved in a wide variety
of congenital heart defects. In the clinical setting, stenotic or hypoplastic arteries may lead to a pressure burden on the right ventricle. Balloon angioplasty alone is indicated for both severe main
pulmonary artery and severe branch pulmonary artery stenosis, particularly in very small patients or in those with pulmonary arteries with very complicated anatomy in whom primary stent implantation is not a viable option. Significant stenosis is obvious when there is a:
221
a) measurable gradient of 20-30mmHg across the stenotic area; b) elevation of the right ventricular or proximal main pulmonary
artery pressure > two thirds of systemic pressure, secondary to more distal obstruction;
c) relative flow discrepancy between the two lungs of 35%/65%
or worse.
In low pulmonary flow situations, such as with Glenn shunts and a
Fontan circulation, the gradient in the pulmonary bed is an unreliable determinant of the degree of stenosis. A similar situation presents when there is decompression run-off to a
compliant contralateral artery. In this context, the pressure gradient alone is not a good indicator of severity. Pulmonary artery stents are indicated in main or branch pulmonary
artery stenosis that is not expected to have, or has not had, an

adequate or persistent response to pulmonary artery balloon dilation (Figure 12).

It is ideal that the stents placed into the central branch pulmonary
arteries have adult-size potential. The use of smaller stents are recognised as a palliative procedure and a commitment for surgical removal or potential of enlargement at a future date. The risks of pulmonary angioplasty and stent placement include
vessel perforation, arrhythmia during manipulation of the catheters and wires, and bleeding. The risks of the stents specifically include misplacement,
embolisation and jailing of the adjacent branch vessels. Embolisation to the ventricle may require an emergent surgical approach for removal of the stent. Placement of a pulmonary artery stent can represent a significant
burden to subsequent surgical interventions, which can be indicated by in-stent stenosis, or other surgical indications, such as pulmonary valve interventions. Stents placed beyond the bifurcation can produce complex branches
stenosis, including lobar bifurcations requiring extensive reconstructions. The use of pulmonary artery branch stenting should

be discussed at a multidisciplinary team meeting, with both interventional cardiology and surgical teams present.
15 What are the indications for pulmonary vein
angioplasty or stent placement?
Pulmonary vein stenosis can present as:
a) an isolated congenital lesion or in association with other
cardiac defects;
b) an acquired lesion after corrective surgery for anomalous
pulmonary venous connections; c) a complication of extreme prematurity; d) a complication of pulmonary vein isolation ablation in adult
patients with atrial fibrillation.
Comparison data of balloon angioplasty versus stent dilation suggest
that stents achieve better results and have longer patency rates. Final stent diameter is an important factor, with a greater end diameter being associated with a better outcome. Paediatric pulmonary vein ballooning and stenting yields generally
poorer results in the mid to long term, as compared to vein interventions in adults following ablation. Pulmonary vein interventions in children with congenital, progressively obstructing disease are rarely curative, with or without the addition of surgical interventions. Pulmonary artery wedge angiograms with follow through to the
levophase are useful in this diagnosis, if transseptal access to the pulmonary veins is not available. The angioplasty technique requires appropriate balloon diameter
selection. More recently, cutting and drug-eluting balloons have been used. Stent implantation can be considered if there is elastic recoil of the
lesion or if vessel dissection is noted. A variety of stents are available but the goal is to place a stent which may be subsequently dilated (Figure 13). Complications are similar to angioplasty and stenting of other
vascular structures and include vessel dissection, stent malposition or embolisation. Pulmonary haemorrhage after intense intervention on the pulmonary
veins is not uncommon. Blood is cross-matched and available, and very frequently patients are monitored in a critical care area after intervention.

16 What are the indications for ductus arteriosus stent
placement?
Stenting of the ductus arteriosus has been used to establish a
reliable source of pulmonary blood flow for the palliation of:
a) cyanotic heart disease, notably patients with severe tetralogy
of Fallot and all forms of pulmonary atresia, as an alternative to aortopulmonary surgical shunts;
b) neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), as part
of the hybrid procedure, in an alternative to the Norwood procedure;
c) neonates with non-HLHS lesions, where a single-stage repair
may be contraindicated.
Current literature suggests that ductus stenting is most favourable in
neonates with a morphologically straight ductus (no more than one to two bends), requiring a reliable palliation for 3-6 months. In full-term neonates, a stent diameter of 3.5-4mm generally provides
adequate palliation of pulmonary blood flow without leading to excessive pulmonary blood flow. In patients weighing less than 3kg, a diameter of 3mm may be adequate. Complications of the procedure include those associated with
cardiac catheterisation in neonates, particularly femoral vessel injury or occlusion.

In patients with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow, there is a
risk of requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or bypass in cases of injury to the duct during manipulation or unexpected spasm compromising adequate pulmonary blood flow. Stent malposition or embolisation can occur, requiring surgical
intervention. Hybrid procedures required in HLHS and non-HLHS patients involve
surgical placement of bilateral branch pulmonary artery bands and stent delivery through a median sternotomy, normally performed without cardiopulmonary bypass.
17 What are the general principles of patent ductus
arteriosus closure?
The indications for PDA occlusion vary depending on the
physiological context at the time of presentation. In small and premature neonates (<2.4kg) with a low PVR and
persistent left-to-right shunt, duct closure is performed to control pulmonary overcirculation, as well as prevention of endarteritis. Such procedures are challenging but more favourable now, due to the development of occlusion devices with a better profile for these specific ducts. In infants with a large PDA and elevated pulmonary vascular
resistance, a full haemodynamic study to assess vascular reactivity to pulmonary vasodilator therapy prior to intervention is required. If reactive, closure may be indicated. In older patients who have developed Eisenmenger syndrome and
have a persistent right-to-left shunt, occlusion is contraindicated. The PDA can be occluded with different devices, including:
225
a) coils — which are usually used to close a small PDA (<2mm).
The Flipper®Cook coil is the most frequently used controlled-
delivery coil and ranges from 3mm diameter by three loops to
8mm diameter by five loops. The Nit-Occlud®coil facilitates
closure of somewhat larger ducts and also has a controlled
release; b) devices (Figure 14) — which include:
i) Amplatzer™ Duct Occluder;
ii) Amplatzer™ Duct Occluder II;
iii) Amplatzer™ Vascular Plug II;
iv) MVP™ microvascular plug (Medtronic).

The device is selected based on the morphology (Figure 15) and
minimum diameter of the duct. See below for different types of PDA morphology. Serious complications of PDA occlusion are rare and include
inadvertent device embolisation into the pulmonary and systemic circulation. Obstruction to aortic or pulmonary flow is a risk particularly in small infants. Haemolysis secondary to residual shunt is more commonly seen following coil occlusion.

18 What are the current recommendations for atrial
septostomy/stenting in congenital heart disease?
Balloon atrial septostomy is the longest established interventional
cardiac catheterisation procedure, first performed by Rashkind and Miller in 1966 on a neonate with transposition of the great vessels and severe desaturation. Whenever possible, septostomy is performed at the bedside using
echocardiographic guidance, to minimise exposure to radiation. Access is usually obtained from the femoral or umbilical vein. A
balloon is passed across the interatrial septum (the patent foramen ovale if present), inflated and quickly pulled back in order to tear the fossa ovalis membrane.
228
Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
In cases of a muscular septum and restrictive muscular
communication, a stent may be placed, under fluoroscopy guidance. Indications for atrial septostomy include:
a) transposition of the great arteries with a restrictive or intact
atrial communication, requiring enhanced atrial mixing;
b) restriction to an obligatory left-to-right atrial shunt, such as in
mitral atresia and hypoplastic left heart syndrome, requiring unrestrictive left-to-right shunting;
c) pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, tricuspid
atresia or total anomalous pulmonary venous return, requiring unrestrictive right-to-left shunting;
d) left atrial hypertension on extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (ECMO) support requiring decompression.
19 What are the principles of transcatheter closure of a
secundum atrial septal defect?
Indications for transcatheter device closure of a secundum ASD
include:
a) right heart volume overload; b) sequelae of paradoxical emboli, such as stroke or recurrent
transient ischaemic attacks;
c) symptomatic transient right-to-left shunting causing cyanosis,
where a communication to maintain adequate cardiac output is not required (platypnoea-orthodeoxia).
Contraindications for transcatheter device closure of a secundum
ASD include:
a) advanced pulmonary vascular disease; b) restrictive left heart physiology, usually in elderly patients with
impaired left ventricular function.
Echocardiography plays an important role in the guidance of these
procedures and assessment of the result. Either intracardiac or transoesophageal echocardiography can be used. The process of transcatheter device closure of the ASD includes:
a) adequate sizing of the defect using a compliant balloon that is
placed through the defect and inflated until flow across the ASD stops, based on echocardiographic imaging;
b) measuring the waist of the balloon by echocardiography and/or
fluoroscopy;
