Recently, the ductus arteriosus stent (DAS) has become a viable alternative.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n            <jats:title>Methods and Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">\n              This was a retrospective multicenter study of neonates \u226430\u2009days undergoing DAS or Blalock\u2010Taussig\u2010Thomas shunt placement between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2020 at hospitals reporting to the Pediatric Health Information Systems database. We performed generalized linear mixed\u2010effects modeling to evaluate trends in intervention and intercenter variation, propensity score adjustment and inverse probability weighting with linear mixed\u2010effects modeling to analyze length of stay and cost of hospitalization, and generalized linear mixed modeling to analyze differences in 30\u2010day outcomes. There were 1874 subjects (58% male, 61% White) from 45 centers (29% DAS). Odds of DAS increased with time (odds ratio [OR] 1.23, annually,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.01 [95% CI, 1.10\u20131.38]) with significant intercenter variation (median OR, 3.81 [95% CI, 2.74\u20135.91]). DAS was associated with shorter hospital length of stay (ratio of geometric means, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.63\u20130.91]), shorter intensive care unit length of stay (ratio of geometric means, 0.77 [95% CI, 0.61\u20130.97]), and less expensive hospitalization (ratio of geometric means, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.56\u20130.87]). Intervention was not significantly associated with odds of 30\u2010day transplant\u2010free survival (OR,1.18 [95% CI, 0.70\u20131.99]) or freedom from catheter reintervention (OR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.65\u20131.58]), but DAS was associated with 30\u2010day freedom from composite adverse outcome (OR, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.11\u20132.05]).\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">Use of DAS is increasing, but there is variability across centers.
