Abstract

Abstract : Stent implantation in children can be problematic due to the possibility of growth incapacity and difficulties during later surgery. For these reasons, bioresorbable stents may be a good alternative to conventional stents. We report our experience with implantation of an Absorb bioresorbable stent in the stenotic major aortopulmonary collateral artery (MAPCA) of a 1‐year‐old girl born with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
