  • Title: Bronchial compression due to stent placement in pulmonary artery in a child with congenital heart disease.
    Author: Núñez M, Beleña J, Cabeza R, Beltrán M.
    Journal: Paediatr Anaesth; 2005 Dec; 15(12):1137-9. PubMed ID: 16324040.
    Abstract:
    Congenital heart disease, such as transposition of the great vessels (TGV), requires surgical procedures which can lead to important complications. We report on a case of bronchial obstruction following placement of a pulmonary artery stent in a 4-year-old boy who had undergone a Rastelli procedure to correct TGV, ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis. There are many complications that can arise as a consequence of intravascular stents in heart surgery, as well as many causes of bronchial compression. However we have not found any report which describes bronchial compression as a direct consequence of endovascular stent.
