Pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis represents a heterogeneous defect with a wide morphology and etiology. Interventions to treat PA stenosis should be based on the location, severity, and cause of stenosis as well as the size of the patient at presentation. Specialized dilation balloons, stents, and delivery techniques have been developed to treat a variety of PA stenoses in small infants through adulthood. Early and intermediate results of angioplasty and stenting are superior to surgical results, while long-term data on angioplasty and stenting are becoming available for these proven safe and effective techniques.
肺动脉(PA)狭窄是一种具有广泛形态和病因的异质性缺陷。治疗PA狭窄的干预措施应基于狭窄的部位、严重程度、病因以及就诊时患者的体型。已经开发出专门的扩张球囊、支架和输送技术,用于治疗从婴幼儿到成人的各种PA狭窄。血管成形术和支架置入术的早期和中期结果优于手术结果,而关于这些经证实安全有效的技术的血管成形术和支架置入术的长期数据也越来越多。
