Pulmonary Artery Stent Implantation

Pulmonary artery stent implantation has become integral in the treatment of pulmonary artery stenosis and is probably the most efficacious therapy for these lesions. Advancements in technology involving stent design and the equipment used for stent delivery have made this procedure much safer and more effective. Strategies to mitigate and successfully treat adverse events related to pulmonary artery stent implantation are reasonably well-established. Pulmonary artery stent implantation remains one of the most complex and technically challenging of congenital cardiac interventions.
