Partial anomaly of the pulmonary venous return is a rare congenital condition treated with surgical redirection of the blood flow through the creation of a conduit to the left atrium. We report the case of a stenotic pulmonary vein to left atrium conduit successfully treated with the implantation of a drug-eluting stent. Pulmonary vein or conduit stenosis is generally treated with balloon dilation or bare-metal stent but is often met with underwhelming outcomes. Given the successful outcome of the case presented, drug-eluting stents may represent an attractive treatment option in suitable anatomies.
部分肺静脉回流异常是一种罕见的先天性疾病,通过创建一条通向左心房的管道来重新引导血流进行手术治疗。我们报告了一例通过植入药物洗脱支架成功治疗的狭窄肺静脉至左心房管道的病例。肺静脉或管道狭窄通常采用球囊扩张或裸金属支架治疗,但结果往往不尽人意。鉴于所呈现病例的成功结果,药物洗脱支架可能是适合解剖结构的一种有吸引力的治疗选择。
