Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a known complication of pulmonary vein isolation in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Patients with PVS can present with a great variety of symptoms. Clinicians should have a low threshold to evaluate for this potentially morbid and treatable condition. PVS can be treated by stenting affected pulmonary veins via transseptal access to the left atrium and use of bare metal biliary stents.
肺静脉狭窄（PVS）是心房颤动治疗中肺静脉隔离术已知的并发症。PVS患者可能出现各种各样的症状。临床医生对于评估这种潜在的病态且可治疗的疾病应保持较低的阈值。PVS可通过经房间隔穿刺进入左心房并使用裸金属胆道支架对受影响的肺静脉进行支架置入来治疗。
