Percutaneous Stent Placed in Main Pulmonary Artery for Pulmonary

 

Percutaneous expansile stents can be used to achieve patency of stenotic lumens. In this case the ribs of a stent are visible in the proximal pulmonary artery which had been congenitally stenotic.


Color doppler in short axis view of the RVOT and proximal pulmonary artery shows adequate flow through the stent.
