The effects of percutaneous branch pulmonary artery interventions in biventricular congenital heart disease: study protocol for a randomized controlled Dutch multicenter interventional trial

Abstract Background Branch pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis is one of the most common indications for percutaneous interventions in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA), tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), and truncus arteriosus (TA). However, the effects of percutaneous branch PA interventions on exercise capacity remains largely unknown. In addition, there is no consensus about the optimal timing of the intervention for asymptomatic patients according to international guidelines. This trial aims to identify the effects of percutaneous interventions for branch PA stenosis on exercise... Mehr ...
