# Transcatheter Resolution of a Failed Neoconfluence in Pulmonary Atresia With Discontinuous Pulmonary Arteries

## TL;DR

A newborn with severe heart defects underwent surgery and stenting to improve blood flow to the lungs.

## Contribution

This case highlights a novel transcatheter approach to resolve complications following a failed neoconfluence in complex congenital heart disease.

## Key findings

- A newborn with pulmonary atresia and discontinuous pulmonary arteries underwent surgical neoconfluence and shunt placement.
- Postoperative stenting was required to address pulmonary artery stenosis.
- Transcatheter intervention successfully resolved the failed neoconfluence.

## Abstract

We present a case of a full-term newborn with complex congenital heart defects, including single-ventricle physiology and discontinuous pulmonary arteries. Prompt surgical intervention was performed, which involved pulmonary neoconfluence with autologous pericardium graft and systemic-to-pulmonary shunt placement. However, postoperative complications required stenting to address pulmonary artery stenosis.
