We describe a case in which a discrete atretic segment of the right pulmonary artery (due to a Blalock‐Taussig shunt) was reconstructed using a new radiofrequency system, balloon dilation, and stent implantation in an 18‐month‐old patient. The shunt was coil‐occluded. The technique and applications of this novel approach are discussed. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2003;60:82–87. © 2003 Wiley–Liss, Inc.
