This study highlights the significant differences between the stents currently used in RVOT pre-stenting. Stents with good radial resistance are preferred, especially for calcified vessels, and flexibility is crucial for tortuous vessels. We proposed an algorithm for selecting the most suitable stent according to the need for radial force and flexibility, which will help inform clinicians considering RVOT revalvulation.
