Background: Major vessel stenoses are currently successfully treated with stent implantation. Recently, new cobalt-chromium stents (Andrastents XL and XXL, Andramed, Germany) have been introduced into clinical practice. This alloy combines high biocompatibility with radial strength and flexibility. Aim: To present our experience with the use of Andrastents XL and XXL for the dilatation of stenosed pulmonary arteries, coarctation of the aorta (CoA), and a stenosed superior vena cava (SVC). Methods: The study group included 24 patients treated with 26 Andrastents. In 7 patients aged 23.3 (range 18–27) years, with the mean body weight of 64.7 (range 50–77) kg, prestenting of a calcified pulmonary homograft was performed using 9 And...
