Pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis is a rare but serious complication of PV isolation. It usually develops 3-6 months after the procedure, but may rarely develop in the acute phase. We present a case of symptomatic PV stenosis within 48 hours after antral PV isolation. Following the initiation of medical treatment including a glucocorticoid, acute changes in the PV wall regressed and the patient's complaint of dyspnea at rest improved rapidly. In addition, long-term renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers were given. The complaint did not recur during follow-up and PV stenosis was mild at 6 months.
肺静脉狭窄是肺静脉隔离术一种罕见但严重的并发症。它通常在术后3至6个月发生,但在急性期很少发生。我们报告一例在肺静脉前庭隔离术后48小时内出现症状性肺静脉狭窄的病例。在开始包括糖皮质激素在内的药物治疗后,肺静脉壁的急性变化消退,患者静息时呼吸困难的主诉迅速改善。此外,给予了长期的肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统(RAAS)阻滞剂。随访期间主诉未复发,6个月时肺静脉狭窄程度较轻。
