“Half-uncovered technique” to secure larger stents for postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis

Hiroaki Kise, Takanari Fujii, Hideshi TomitaShowa University.Japan Cardiology in the YoungCardiol Young 2022; 32: 1327-1329DOI: 10.1017/S1047951121004790 AbstractAlthough larger stent placement could be effective for pulmonary vein stenosis, stents extrusion tends to occur due to caliber narrowing, small landing area, and the slippery nature. We placed stents with diameter ≧8 mm for four stenotic lesions using the
