title: Endovascular stenting for treatment of an adult patient with pulmonary artery stenosis with 1-year follow-up.
abstract: This report describes the occurrence of symptomatic proximal left main pulmonary artery stenosis in a 58-yr-old man that was successfully treated with endovascular stenting with 1-yr follow-up. The technique and pitfalls of this procedure are described. Endovascular stenting provided a well-tolerated, nonsurgical approach to alleviating isolated pulmonary artery stenosis in this patient.
