Correlation of Intravascular Ultrasound with Histology in Pediatric Pulmonary Vein Stenosis

Ryan Callahan, Zachary Gauthier, Shuhei Toba, Stephen P. Sanders, Diego Porras, Sara O. Vargas Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.United States ChildrenChildren 2021; 8DOI: 10.3390/children8030193 AbstractPreliminary intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images of suspected pediatric intraluminal pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) demonstrate wall thickening. It is unclear how the IVUS-delineated constituents of wall thickening correlate with the histology. […]

“Half-uncovered technique” to secure larger stents for postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis

Hiroaki Kise, Takanari Fujii, Hideshi Tomita Showa University.Japan Cardiology in the YoungCardiol Young 2022; 32: 1327-1329DOI: 10.1017/S1047951121004790 AbstractAlthough larger stent placement could be effective for pulmonary vein stenosis, stents extrusion tends to occur due to caliber narrowing, small landing area, and the slippery nature. We placed stents with diameter ≧8 mm for four stenotic lesions using
