[Non-surgical retrieval of coronary stent from the left ventricle following failed stent deployment in the left anterior descending coronary artery--a case report].

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although surgical treatment for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) has been used with considerable success, right ventricular function may remain altered after repair. The NT-proBNP assessment has been shown to be a reliable parameter for the heart failure assessment. AIM:To determine NT-proBNP values in assessment ...
