We compared the results of stent implantation for pulmonary artery stenoses in patients weighing <20 kg (group 1, 17 patients, 21 stents) versus those weighing > or = 20 kg (group 2, 11 patients, 13 stents). There was no significant difference in the mean percent increase in diameter or mean percent gradient reduction acutely and at short-term follow-up between group 1 and 2 patients.
