H. Movahhedian et al., COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF STENT IMPLANTATION IN SMALL (LESS-THAN-20 KG) CHILDREN VERSUS LARGER CHILDREN WITH PULMONARY-ARTERY STENOSES, The American journal of cardiology, 78(10), 1996, pp. 1180
We compared the results of stent implantation for pulmonary artery ste
noses in patients weighing <20 kg (group 1, 17 patients, 21 stents) ve
rsus those weighing greater than or equal to 20 kg (group 2, 11 patien
ts, 13 stents). There was no significant difference in the mean percen
t increase in diameter or mean percent gradient reduction acutely and
at short-term follow-up between group 1 and 2 patients.
