Examples of Microvascular Plug modification in patients 1 and 3. (A) A modified Microvascular Plug (MVP)-5Q with exposure of 6 of 8 covered cells for use in the 3.5-mm ductal stent in patient 1. (B) Angiography performed prior to release of the modified MVP-5Q within the ductal stent demonstrates flow through the device into the branch pulmonary arteries (PA). (C) In patient 3, after orthotopic heart transplant, pathologic examination of the 6-mm right ventricular PA conduit demonstrates the modified MVP-7Q with exposure of 7 of 10 covered cells. (D) Angiography performed prior to release of the modified MVP-7Q within the RV-PA conduit in patient 3.
