Although pulmonary artery stenosis and its treatment has been well characterized in pediatric populations, its diagnosis and even how to determine the significance of a stenosis can be difficult and optimal management is currently unknown. This case report and review of the literature outlines how we successfully diagnosed, evaluated, and stented a patient with radiation induced pulmonary artery stenosis. This case further adds support to a very limited data pool suggesting that percutaneous angioplasty of pulmonary artery stenosis may be a safe and effective treatment option for this unique patient population.
