Intra-procedural data included access route, coronary anatomy, lesion complexity, number of stents deployed, door-to-balloon time for primary PCI, and any intra-procedural complications. and the average number of stents 2.6. The radial approach was used in 544/567 (95.94%), the average SYNTAX score was 34.8 ± 9.6,

Diagnostic cardiac catheterization may be needed especially in tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, to assess the pulmonary anatomy, including size and distribution of peripheral pulmonary arteries. Stenting of the patent ductus arteriosus can be considered in neonatal period for improving oxygen saturation till corrective surgery.

Two adjunctive modifications of CE ‐ balloon remodeling techniques (BRT) and stent‐assisted coiling (SAC) ‐ have been utilized to facilitate occlusion of BTAs of variable anatomies/morphologies, sizes, and rupture status. Stents approved by FDA after 2014 (used in 13 cases) had a greater rate of retreatment (46.2% vs. 10.7%).
