    OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to determine whether CT angiography can reveal complications in pediatric patients and young adults treated with intravascular stents for obstructive vascular lesions.

    CONCLUSION: CT angiography can reveal complications in pediatric patients treated with intravascular stents for obstructive lesions. Potentially, CT angiography could replace the more invasive conventional angiography currently used for intravascular stent placement and follow-up examinations.
