A pulmonary vein stenosis is a known adverse event of catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation. However, it should be considered due to high frequency of such procedures. Haemoptysis, a symptom of severe stenosis, is often misdiagnosed as other different diseases. We present a case report of a 52-year-old patient with recurrent haemoptysis, dyspnoea, and fatigue, which turned out to be complication after catheter ablation. Successful treatment with drug-eluting stent (DES) was implemented with vast clinical improvement and follow-up.
肺静脉狭窄是心房颤动导管消融术已知的不良事件。然而,鉴于此类手术的高频率,应予以考虑。咯血作为严重狭窄的一种症状,常被误诊为其他不同疾病。我们报告一例52岁患者,反复咯血、呼吸困难和疲劳,结果发现是导管消融术后的并发症。采用药物洗脱支架(DES)成功治疗,临床症状大幅改善并进行了随访。
