RESUMO
La tetralogía de Fallot es una cardiopatía congénita que representa el 11-13% de estas. La estenosis e hipoplasia de las arterias pulmonares aparecen en un alto porcentaje, debido a que esta enfermedad cursa con una estenosis nativa de la rama pulmonar y a que la cirugía previa la puede estenosar. Los stents intravasculares expandibles mediante balón son una técnica alternativa a la reintervención en pacientes con cardiopatías congénitas. Sin embargo, a pesar del progresivo incremento de su utilización, el limitado número de procedimientos asociado a la amplia variedad anatómica y diferentes características de estos pacientes hace que aun en manos expertas, la implantación de stents en estos pacientes asocie una incidencia no despreciable de complicaciones, las cuales no son siempre inocuas y obligan en ocasiones a realizar tratamientos quirúrgicos en enfermos ya multiintervenidos, lo que aumenta la complejidad y el riesgo (AU)
Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart disease that accounts for 11-13% of the congenital cardiomyopathies. Stenosis and hyperplasia of the pulmonary arteries occur in a high proportion of them as this disease causes a native stenosis of the pulmonary branch, which can be surgically repaired with a stent. The use of balloon expandable intravascular stents is an alternative technique to further surgery in patients with congenital heart diseases. However, despite the gradual increase in their use, the limited number of procedures, combined with the wide anatomical variability and different characteristics of these patients, even in expert hands, stent implants are associated with a not inconsiderable incidence of complications. These are not always obvious and often require performing surgery in patients who have already had multiple interventions, thus increasing the complexity and the risk (AU)
