title: Endovascular stent implantation to relieve extrinsic right pulmonary artery compression due to an enlarged neoaorta.
abstract: This case report describes extrinsic compression of the right pulmonary artery, following aortic reconstructive surgery, to create a neo-ascending aorta in a 5-year-old boy with aortic atresia, coarctation of the aorta, and a ventricular septal defect, in an effort to achieve a biventricular circulation (Yasui operation). The obstruction was successfully relieved by transcatheter implantation of a balloon-expandable stent.
