Bridge stents in the management of obstructive vascular lesions in children

Bridge stents were implanted to treat stenotic lesions of the branch pulmonary artery, aorta, and superior vena cava via small-caliber long sheaths or without long sheaths, with resultant improvement in obstruction without balloon ruptures, slippage of the stent, or diffculty in traversing tortuous...

Zusammenfassung:Bridge stents were implanted to treat stenotic lesions of the branch pulmonary artery, aorta, and superior vena cava via small-caliber long sheaths or without long sheaths, with resultant improvement in obstruction without balloon ruptures, slippage of the stent, or diffculty in traversing tortuous course. These data suggests that the bridge stents are effective alternatives to Palmaz stents in the treatment of stenotic vascularl lessions in children.
