Simultaneous stent implantation to treat bifurcation stenoses in the pulmonary arteries: Initial results and long‐term follow up

Background : Balloon angioplasty of bifurcating pulmonary artery (PA) stenoses is often inadequate, and stent treatment often requires simultaneous implantation of two stents. This study evaluates initial results and long‐term follow up of transcatheter stent placement in bifurcating PAs. Methods : This is a retrospective review of patients (pts) who had bifurcating PA stents placed in main and lobar branches from 1993 to 2007. Results :...
