Abstract
A 13-year-old girl, who was suffering complications with bilateral pulmonary artery stenosis after intracardiac repair for tetralogy of Fallot, suffered life-threatening left pulmonary bleeding and edema following inadvertent unilateral stent implantation for a left pulmonary stenosis. Pulmonary edema and subsequent hypoxia persisted despite intensive medical treatment; however, contralateral stent deployment resolved her symptoms quickly.
