✦ Synopsis


A 29-year-old woman with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect underwent palliative stenting of a stenotic aortopulmonary collateral. Follow-up demonstrated patent stents, with improved oxygenation and exercise capacity. This approach offers an attractive alternative to surgical shunt placement in select patients.

Patients with unrepaired pulmonary artery atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD) depend on aortoplumonary collaterals and surgically created shunts for pulmonary blood flow. These vessels frequently develop stenoses with time, leading to hypoperfusion of lung segments and systemic hypoxemia.
