Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stenting seems to be suggested as a promising treatment option and an alternative to modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS) in the initial palliation of patients with Fallot-type lesions in recent years. This study sought to assess the effect of RVOT stenting on...
