Interventional strategies in the management of peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis

J Interv Cardiol. 2003 Apr;16(2):171-88. doi: 10.1046/j.1540-8183.2003.08031.x.

Abstract

Peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis challenges therapeutic algorithms for the management of congenital heart malformations. Surgical repair of the proximal pulmonary artery lesion remains with a high recurrence rate while the distal lesions are difficult to access. With the development of transcatheter interventional strategies in the early 1980s, a number of transcatheter treatment options became available. In this review, we summarize the current state of the art for interventional strategies in the management of peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis.
