title: [Stenting in obstructive pathology of pulmonary artery in patients with various forms of congenital heart failure].
abstract: A total of 124 stents were implanted to 91 patients with various forms of congenital heart failure for the resolution of obstruction of 111 segments in pulmonary arteries. All these patients were treated in A. N. Bakulev Research Centre of Cardiovascular Surgery in the period from 1994 to 2007. Analysis of observations in early and late postoperative periods indicates that the efficiency of stenting of obstructed pulmonary arteries was 96.4% and the restenosis rate in the follow-up period 3.9%. It is concluded that stenting of pulmonary arteries is an effective and safe method for the management of obstruction problems. In the majority of patients it allows to avoid surgical intervention on pulmonary arteries.
