Stent angioplasty of narrowed right ventricular outflow conduits and pulmonary arteries consistently reduces right ventricular systolic pressures and delays subsequent surgeries

ConclusionsStent angioplasty was safe and effective. Surgery was postponed in all stenosed conduits. Elective redilation of stents after bilateral PA stenting may be needed for somatic growth; but open-heart repeat surgeries can be avoided in a majority.
