Hybrid approach for disconnected pulmonary arteries: never lose a pulmonary artery again!

Cardiology in the Young
Gianfranco ButeraGiuseppe Pomè

Abstract

Disconnection of a pulmonary artery needs early surgical treatment in order to support the growth of the vessel. However, owing to the high rate of re-stenosis after traditional surgical reconstruction, we developed a hybrid approach involving the creation of pulmonary artery continuity by using autologous or heterologous tissue supported by stent implantation.
