Abstract
We successfully implanted a coronary stent via a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt to relieve stenosis of the left pulmonary artery in an infant with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect. The placement of a flexible coronary stent via a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt is a safe and feasible catheter intervention for the treatment of infants with hypoplastic pulmonary arteries.Entities:
