  • Title: Radiography of thoracic intravascular stents in children with congenital heart disease.
    Author: Schlesinger AE, Caoili EM, Mendelsohn AM, Bove EL, Beekman RH.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1993; 23(2):113-6. PubMed ID: 8516032.
    Abstract:
    Seventeen balloon expandable stents were placed in thoracic vessels in eleven children with vascular stenoses related to congenital heart lesions. We describe the normal radiographic appearance of three types of balloon expandable stents implanted in pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, and the superior vena cava of these children as well as the appearance of the complications we encountered. Knowledge of the radiographic appearance of these devices is important as chest radiography is a primary method of follow-up in children with balloon expandable stents placed to treat stenoses of intrathoracic vessels related to congenital heart disease.
