The Role of Elevated Wall Shear Stress in Progression of Pulmonary Vein Stenosis: Evidence from Two Case Studies

Peter E. Hammer, Kerry McEnaney, Ryan Callahan, Christopher W. Baird, David M. Hoganson, Kathy J. JenkinsBoston Children’s Hospital.United States ChildrenChildren 2021; 8:DOI: 10.3390/children8090729 AbstractPulmonary vein stenosis is a serious condition characterized by restriction or blockage due to fibrotic tissue ingrowth that develops in the pulmonary veins of infants or children. It is often progressive and can

Intentional longitudinal and side-cell stent fractures: Intermediate term follow up

Hitesh Agrawal, Athar M. Qureshi, Henri JustinoTexas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine.United States Catheterization and Cardiovascular InterventionsCatheter Cardiovasc Interv 2018; 91: 1110-1118DOI: 10.1002/ccd.27469 AbstractBackground: Use of small diameter stents in young children and jailing of side branches pose significant challenges to future re-interventions. We sought to assess the capacity to induce longitudinal fractures in undersized
