Pulmonary Branch Stent Angioplasty in the Post-Surgery of Pulmonary Atresia with VSD

Introduction: Patients with congenital heart diseases that affect the outflow tract of the right ventricle usually develop lesions at both the pulmonary valve and the pulmonary branches. We present a case in which critical stenosis of the right pulmonary branch was treated with a low- profile peripheral stent 7 days after reconstructive surgery. Method: Retrospective review of the clinical case, pre-surgical condition, surgical technique, complication and resolution during the hospital stay. Result: Effective angioplasty of the right pulmonary branch with a low-profile balloon-expandable stent. Subsequent favorable clinical evolution. Conclusion: Post-surgical injuries must be addressed early both for diagnosis and treatment, in order to obtain better clinical results. For this, the correct functioning of the multidisciplinary team work is necessary.
