The authors report the results of surgical treatment completed by interventional catheterisation of occlusion of the left pulmonary artery by extension of ductal tissue. Since 2001, 7 patients operated for occlusive coarctation of the left pulmonary artery at an average age of 11 months (3 to 37 months) had a restenosis. The cardiac malformation was pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (N=4), tetralofy of Fallot (N=2) and critical pulmonary valvular stenosis (N=1). Pulmonary artery surgery consisted of resection anastomosis in 4 cases and a plasty in 3 cases. A primary angioplasty was performed 5 to 170 months (median 12 months) later, at an average age and weight of 3.4 years (0.7 to 16.9 years) and 14 Kg (8 to 52 Kg) with implantation of 3 stents. The median diameter increased from 5 mm (1 to 9 mm) to 10 mm (6 to 16 mm). Tc-99m scintigraphy showed an increase in mean left pulmonary perfusion from 9% (6 to 28%) to 28% (18 to 42%). Secondarily, 3 repeat angioplasties were necessary with a total of 6 stents implanted in 7 patients. After an average of 2.9 years (0.8 to 6.3 years) follow-up, the patients were asymptomatic with normal right ventricular pressures and a mean left pulmonary perfusion of 33% (24 to 45%). The authors conclude that the treatment of left pulmonary occlusion by coarctation requires a medico-surgical approach in which angioplasty and stenting complete successfully the surgical revascularisation.
