Branch pulmonary artery stenosis, a common complication after surgical repair of congenital heart disease, is treated with intravascular stenting. As the acute and chronic effects of stenting are unknown this study uses 4D Flow MRI to serially monitor hemodynamics in a porcine model of pulmonary artery stenosis. Intervention increases flow through the stenosed artery, but not to a normal value. Chronologically, stenosis flow is found to increase immediately after stenting and then remain constant.
