Abstract:
Pulmonary artery stent implantation has become integral in the treatment of pulmonary artery stenosis and is probably the most efficacious therapy for these lesions. Advancements in technology involving stent design and the equipment used for stent delivery have made this procedure much safer and more effective. Strategies to mitigate and successfully treat adverse events related to pulmonary artery stent implantation are reasonably well-established. Pulmonary artery stent implantation remains one of the most complex and technically challenging of congenital cardiac interventions.

These agonists bind to the IPR receptor situated on the plasma membrane of the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. This binding triggers a cascade of reactions known as the GS-AC-cAMP-PKA pathway. This pathway results in the relaxation of smooth muscle...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
