Case Report
may occur and are poorly tolerated. We feel a hybrid approach provides the most direct route to the RVOT with the least hemodynamic instability, providing concurrent angiography through the delivery sheath to facilitate optimal stent position. This small (n = 4) case series may not provide su cient experience to support a perventricular approach as rst-line for all infants ≤ 2 kg requiring RVOT stenting. However, early conversion to this approach should be considered in those infants who do not tolerate attempts at percu- taneous stent delivery.
