Stenting of stenosed aortopulmonary collaterals: a new approach to palliation in pulmonary atresia with multifocal aortopulmonary blood supply.
AUTOR(ES)
McLeod, K. A.
RESUMO
A patient with complex pulmonary atresia and increasing cyanosis due to stenoses of aortopulmonary collateral vessels improved after implantation of balloon expandable stents into the stenosed vessels. Stent implantation may provide an alternative to surgical palliation in this group of patients.
