OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the performance of the Bard Valeo stent in pulmonary artery stenoses.
BACKGROUND:The premounted Valeo stent requires only 6-7 French access and can be post-dilated to 20 mm on bench testing. Although it appears ideal for implantation in pulmonary artery stenoses in children, it has been unclear whether it has sufficient radial strength to prevent vessel recoil and stent collapse.
