Abstract

In this article, we report on a newborn with hypoplastic left heart syndrome in whom recoarctation of the aorta was treated with a bare metal stent (Cook Formula 414 Stent) in the early postoperative period after a Norwood procedure. To reduce the risk for scarring and occluding the femoral artery the stent was implanted via 5F Glidesheath Slender sheath.
