Stents are widely used in the management of various medical conditions including pulmonary arterial stenosis. Endovascular stenting is the treatment modality of choice for patients with branch pulmonary arterial stenosis which is unresponsive to balloon angioplasty alone. Since stents are increasingly being used in the pediatric population, stent fracture, even if uncommon, is likely to be encountered with increasing frequency during the follow-up of these patients. We hereby report a case of stent fracture in the left pulmonary artery which was treated by using a second stent.
