Venous stent placement is widely accepted as the treatment of stenoses caused by external tumour compression to reduced clinical sequelae. We report percutaneous stent placement into a severely obstructed right pulmonary artery in a 73-year-old female patient. The underlying disease was a medistinal tumour mass of unknown aetiology. Pulmonary perfusion was successfully but temporarily restored by the intervention.
