Abstract
This is a case of an infant with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation, who required 6 stents delivered over three procedures to fully stent the arterial duct, which originated in a very unusual fashion. The attainable angiographic projections were unable to profile its origin, and only a CT scan was ultimately able to delineate the (stenotic) ductal origin from the aorta.
