Possible effects of left pulmonary artery stenting in single ventricle patients on bronchial area, lung volume and lung function

BackgroundLeft pulmonary artery (LPA) stenting is often required in single ventricle (SV) patients. Due to their close anatomical relationship an LPA stent could potentially compress the left main bronchus (LMB). We assessed the impact of LPA stenting on bronchial size, pulmonary volumes, and lung f...
