Abstract:
Postoperative pulmonary artery stenosis is one of the popular complications.The disappointing results of surgical treatment for such lesions led to the introduction of interventional procedures (balloon angioplasty and stent implantation).Balloon angioplasty is applicable for branch pulmonary artery stenosis,however,balloon dilation alone rarely been effective in the long-term for these lesions.Since pulrmonary artery stenting was introduced in 1991,indications and use of stents for dealing with pulmonary artery stenosis have played a leading role in recent times.Intravascular stents are effective for stenotic artery dilation,can reduce right ventricle pressure and improve heart function.Excellent mid-and long-term results after stenting of postoperative pulmonary artery stenosis are demonstrated by numerous researches,with the new developments in stent design,indications for pulmonary artery stent implantation are likely to widen in the future.
