Fracture of a 12 mm Palmaz stent after implantation in the left pulmonary artery for palliation of postoperative stenosis in a 9‐year‐old child is described. Successful management by implantation of a second Palmaz stent revealed immediate stabilization and no signs of significant restenosis during 1‐year follow‐up.
