We report on a patient with perimembranous ventricular septal defect and pulmonary hypertension. He underwent pulmonary artery banding followed by external stenting of the left bronchus because of secondary bronchomalacia. The external stent applied was a ringed expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft, 10 mm in diameter and fixed at 8 points. Intracardiac repair was performed at the age of 2 years and the external stent was left in place. Since then, the patient has been healthy and computed tomography reveals that the external stent graft has retained function for over 20 years.
我们报告了 1 例膜周室间隔缺损伴肺动脉高压患者。因继发性支气管软化,该患者先接受了肺动脉带缩术,随后又进行了左支气管体外支架置入术。应用的体外支架为 10mm 直径、8 点固定的环状膨体聚四氟乙烯移植物。患者在 2 岁时进行了心脏内修复手术,体外支架仍保留在位。此后,患者一直健康,且计算机断层扫描显示,体外支架移植物已保留功能超过 20 年。
