Key result
Intravascular ultrasound-guided drug-coated balloon venoplasty was utilized to treat in-stent restenosis in a young patient with recurrent pulmonary vein stenosis.
Why the study?
Percutaneous treatment is preferred for pulmonary veins stenosis after atrial fibrillation ablation, but procedures lack standardization, in-stent restenosis is relatively common, and experience and specific materials for managing in-stent restenosis remain limited.

Case Report (n=1)
IVUS-guided drug-coated balloon venoplasty represents a potential therapeutic option for managing in-stent restenosis in pulmonary veins stenosis after AF ablation.
Portero‐Portaz et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Pulmonary veins stenosis (in-stent restenosis) (n=1). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided drug-coated balloon venoplasty was evaluated. Intravascular ultrasound-guided drug-coated balloon venoplasty was utilized to treat in-stent restenosis in a young patient with recurrent pulmonary vein stenosis.
