Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare complication following pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation.
We present two cases of iatrogenic PVS, successfully managed with balloon angioplasty and stenting. Both patients experienced significant symptom relief and improved functional status following the intervention.
We highlight the importance of early recognition and intervention in PVS, as well as the complexities involved in long-term management, including surveillance strategies and restenosis prevention.
肺静脉狭窄(PVS)是房颤肺静脉隔离术后一种罕见的并发症。
我们报告两例医源性PVS病例,通过球囊血管成形术和支架置入术成功治疗。两名患者在干预后症状明显缓解,功能状态得到改善。
我们强调早期识别和干预PVS的重要性,以及长期管理所涉及的复杂性,包括监测策略和再狭窄预防。
