Stenting for pulmonary artery stenosis following the Ross procedure.
A 34-year-old woman showed the development of significant main pulmonary artery obstruction along the supravalvar suture line 18 months following a Ross procedure. The patient underwent unsuccessful balloon angioplasty, followed by successful stent implantation. The angiographic narrowing disappeared postprocedure, and the excellent hemodynamic result maintained at 4 month follow-up.
