Abstract
There is increasing interest in applying ductal stenting technology to high-risk patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). In this review, we present the complete history and a comprehensive up-to-date analysis of all available data on the use of ductal stenting as part of various hybrid strategies for the combined medical and surgical management of HLHS.
