The role of stents in the treatment of congenital heart disease: Current status and future perspectives
The Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 06/22/09

Peters B et al. - The pediatric interventionalist has to decide which stent is suitable for each lesion. On this basis, currently available stents are discussed in regard to their advantages and disadvantages for common application in CHD. New concepts and designs developed to overcome some of the existing problems, like the failure of adaptation to somatic growth, are presented.

This might truly lead to widening indications for the use of stents in the treatment of CHD.
