“…[36][37][38] By 2014, with over 20 studies that had tested the efficacy of stent placement for PAS, this treatment method was shown to have an exceptionally high successful dilation rate of 90% on average, with some studies showing a 100% success rate. 10,14,[39][40][41][42] These stents could then significantly improve the PA pressure gradient, RV pressure, and pulmonary perfusion. There is also evidence of hemodynamic success nicely translating to clinical success, measured as improved ventilator efficiency, aerobic capacity, and symptoms.…”

Peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis (PAS) is an abnormal narrowing of the pulmonary vasculature and can form anywhere within the pulmonary artery tree. PAS is a congenital or an acquired disease, and its severity depends on the etiology, location, and number of stenoses. Most often seen in infants and young children, some symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, and tachycardia. Symptoms can progressively worsen over time as right ventricular pressure increases, leading to further complications including pulmonary artery hypertension and systolic and diastolic dysfunctions. The current treatment options for PAS include simple balloon angioplasty, cutting balloon angioplasty, and stent placement. Simple balloon angioplasty is the most basic therapeutic option for proximally located PAS. Cutting balloon angioplasty is utilized for more dilation-resistant PAS vessels and for more distally located PAS. Stent placement is the most effective option seen to treat the majority of PAS; however, it requires multiple re-interventions for serial dilations and is generally reserved for PAS vessels that are resistant to angioplasty.

“…The other underwent surgical repair. 8 We describe the perforation of a balloon catheter while trying to advance it to the stenotic pulmonary branch, which was caused while cutting the balloon protective covering with a scalpel blade causing an iatrogenic complication and how this prevented the correct expansion of the stent and therefore the impossibility of deployed it or retrieve it into the Mullins sheath.…”

“…However, in branch pulmonary artery stenoses, standard BA may have success rates of 50–60% with a recurrence rate of 15% and complication rate of 6–12% ( 88 , 90 – 92 ). High-pressure and cutting balloons improved the success rates, especially in younger patients with resistant lesions ( 93 , 94 ). However, with continuous improvement of the stent technology, in most patients, stenting has become a treatment of choice for branch pulmonary artery stenosis.…”
