Abstract

We report a 5-month-old infant who developed an unexpected acute ischaemia of the right lower limb following a surgical perimembranous interventricular communication closure. This rare case of ischaemia was due to an occlusive right common iliac artery dissection. It was early managed by angioplasty with two ABSORB® bioresorbable stents, resulted in complete revascularisation of the right leg.

Keywords: Absorb® stent; Peripheral artery ischaemia; angioplasty; catheterisation; interventricular communication; paediatric cardiac surgery.
