AbstractBackground:Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a condition with challenging treatment and leads to severe cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension. Despite aggressive surgical or catheter-based intervention, the prognosis of PVS is unsatisfactory. This study aimed to assess the prognosis and to establish appropriate treatment strategies.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed endovascular treatments for PVS (2001–2017) from the clinical database at the Okayama University Hospital.Results:A total of 24 patients underwent PVS associated with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and 7 patients underwent isolated congenital PVS. In total, 53 stenotic pulmonary veins were subjected to endovascular treatments; 40 of them were stented by hybrid (29) and percutaneous procedures (11) (bare-metal stent, n = 34; drug-eluting stent, n = 9). Stent size of hybrid stenting was larger than percutaneous stenting. Median follow-up duration from the onset of PVS was 24 months (4–134 months). Survival rate was 71 and 49% at 1 and 5 years, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between stent placement and survival; however, patients who underwent bare-metal stent implantation had statistically better survival than those who underwent drug-eluting stent implantation or balloon angioplasty. Early onset of stenosis, timing of stenting, and small vessel diameter of pulmonary vein before stenting were considered as risk factors for in-stent restenosis. Freedom from re-intervention was 50 and 26% at 1 and 2 years.Conclusions:To improve survival and stent patency, implantation of large stent is important. However, re-intervention after stenting is also significant to obtain good outcome.

Introduction: Maintaining ductus arteriosus (DA) patency by stent implantation may be advantageous in congenital heart disease management algorithms. Rapamycin, an immuno-suppressant drug, has anti-proliferative properties, inhibits smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration and may deter intimal hyperplasia occurring during spontaneous closure and post stent implantation of the DA. Methods: 16 Yorkshire piglets (age 7–11 days old, weight 2.2– 4.9 kg) underwent stent implantation of the DA (rapamycin-eluting (n = 8), bare metal (n = 8) stents, (3.5 mm diameter) and were sacrificed at 2, 4 and 6 weeks. Dissected DA were analyzed for SMC and extracellular matrix components (elastin, collagen and glycosaminoglycans). External diameter, wall thickness and lumen diameter were analyzed by morphometric software. DA-derived SMC were isolated and cultured for 7 days in the presence or absence of 100mM of rapamycin. Cellular proliferation rates were assessed by proliferative antigen Ki-67 detection and [ 3 H]-thymidine incorporation. Specific antibodies to elastin, collagen type I, and chondroitin sulfate-containing glycosaminoglycans were analyzed. Results: Rapamycin-eluting stents significantly inhibited neointimal formation compared with bare metal stents at 4 and 6 weeks resulting in larger luminal diameters (p<0.001). The in vitro studies demonstrated rapamycin-treated cultures of the DA-derived SMC had 50% lower proliferation rates (p<0.001). Conclusions : Rapamycin has anti-proliferative actions on the DA. Drug-eluting stents may be a more efficient tool for prolonging patency of the DA in neonates palliated for future correctional surgery.
