Congenital pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS) is a common congenital heart defect. In the infancy of cardiac surgery, open surgical valvotomy or closed surgical transventricular pulmonary valvotomy (Brock procedure) were the mainstays of therapy. We report the longest-known published follow-up of two women who as young children underwent pulmonary valvotomy for PVS and subsequent uncomplicated open pulmonary valve replacement over 60 years later.
先天性肺动脉瓣狭窄(PVS)是一种常见的先天性心脏病。在心脏外科学的婴儿期,开放性外科瓣切开术或闭合性外科经心室肺动脉瓣切开术(Brock 手术)是治疗的主要方法。我们报告了两名女性患者的最长随访记录,她们在幼儿时期因 PVS 接受了肺动脉瓣切开术,60 多年后又进行了单纯的开放式肺动脉瓣置换术,过程均无并发症。
