We report a case of a patient diagnosed with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and progressive supravalvular aortic stenosis. Treatment with long-term low-density lipoprotein apheresis and management with novel lipid-lowering agents including an angiopoetin-like protein inhibitor led to significant low-density lipoprotein reduction. The case highlights the challenges in managing the manifestations of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
我们报告了一例被诊断为纯合子家族性高胆固醇血症和进行性主动脉瓣上狭窄的患者。长期低密度脂蛋白单采治疗以及使用包括血管生成素样蛋白抑制剂在内的新型降脂药物进行管理,使低密度脂蛋白显著降低。该病例凸显了管理纯合子家族性高胆固醇血症表现方面的挑战。
