Atrium expanded polytetrafluoroethylene covered stents were implanted in the stenotic pulmonary veins ( n = 5) of three patients.

The majority (4/5) of covered stents remained patent for at least 3 months after implantation. Stents remain patent in the two surviving patients 6 months after deployment.
