Case Report: Simultaneous covered stenting for aortic coarctation and significant PDA in low and very low birth weight preterm infants: technical insights from two cases
In our rare and small cohort, covered stenting for CoA and PDA proved effective and safe in low-weight and very-low-weight premature infants, improving coarctation, achieving complete PDA closure, and offering the potential for full stent removal. The small sample size reflects the cohort's critical specificity, and the findings require validation in larger populations.
