Pulmonary vein (PV) restenosis develops with reported incidence rates of up to 50%. Balloon angioplasty seems to be the widely preferred treatment of choice.
A 54-year-old man with long history of atrial fibrillations developed PVS secondary to multiple radiofrequency ablation procedures. The stenosis was treated with a stent. 8.5 years later he presented with an in-stent restenosis that was successfully treated with a stent-in-stent strategy. He has since remained asymptomatic over 3 years of follow-up.
Our case demonstrates stenting as a viable alternative strategy with potentially favorable long-term outcome.
肺静脉(PV)再狭窄发生率高达50%。球囊血管成形术似乎是广泛首选的治疗方法。
一名有长期房颤病史的54岁男性因多次射频消融手术继发肺静脉狭窄(PVS)。采用支架治疗该狭窄。8.5年后,他出现支架内再狭窄,采用支架套入支架策略成功治疗。此后在3年随访中一直无症状。
我们的病例表明,支架置入术是一种可行的替代策略,可能具有良好的长期效果。
