Stent angulation and implantation in the ductus arteriosus of a low-weight neonate

We report the case of a neonate with ductus-dependent cyanotic congenital heart disease treated by stenting in the ductus arteriosus. A physician-modified stent angulation enabled the advance of the stent from the aorta to the ductus arteriosus and its subsequent implantation.
