Pulmonaryarterystenosismaybeduetocongenitaloracquireddisease.
Pulmonaryarterystenosisshouldbeconsideredaspartofthedifferentialdiagnosisforany
adultundergoingevaluationofpulmonaryhypertension.
Indicationstointerveneon pulmonaryarterystenosisinclude:1)rightventricularsystolic
pressure greater than 2/3 systemic pressure, 2) Significant stenosis in the setting of right ventriculardysfunction,3) pulmonaryarterystenosiswithamarkedperfusioninequalityor deficit, 4) regional pulmonary artery hypertension in unaffected lung segment, and 5)
https://t.me/med1917
pulmonaryarterynarrowing/distortioninpatientswithcavopulmonaryanastomoses.
Interventional techniques to address pulmonary artery stenosis include simple balloon
angioplasty,cuttingballoonangioplasty,andstentangioplasty.
I.Introduction
A.Obstructionsorstenoseswiththepulmonaryarterialtreeresultfromadiversegroupofintrinsicand
extrinsicfactors.
B.Pulmonaryarterystenosesmayinvolvethemainpulmonaryartery,theleftandrightbranchpulmonary
arteries,andthelobar,segmental,andsubsegmentalbranchesofthemoredistalpulmonaryarterialtree. Obstruction may be isolated to a single vessel or may occur at multiple sites and multiple levels.

Management strategies for pulmonary artery stenosis include balloon angioplasty, cutting balloon angioplasty, and stent angioplasty. Patient-specificstrategiesdependonetiology,lesioncharacteristics, andpatientcharacteristics.
II.EtiologyofPulmonaryArteryStenosis
A.Pulmonaryarterystenosiscanbebroadlyclassifiedaseithercongenitaloracquired(Table7.1).Ina
studybyFranch, 60% ofcongenital stenoses were found inconjunction withcongenital heart disease while 40% were isolated. Isolated congenital stenosis is often found in association with genetic syndromesincludingWilliams,Alagille,andNoonansyndrome(Fig.7.1).Inthesesettings,thestenoses tendtobediffuse,involvingmultiplesegmentsatmultiplelevelsofthepulmonarytree.

ifthe surgery involvesmanipulation ofthe pulmonary arteries themselves. Patchmaterial, suture lines, anddistortion due to kinking or stretchingof the pulmonary vessel may all contribute to postsurgical pulmonaryarterystenosis(Figs.7.2A–Cand7.3A).

C.Pulmonaryarterystenosis presentingdenovointhe adult is arare but important condition and is
usually an acquired pathology.
2,3
Etiologies include external compression from tumor or
lymphadenopathy,fibrosingmediastinitis,systemic vasculitis (egTakayasuarteritis orBehcetdisease), thromboembolic disease, and sarcoidosis. (Table 7.1). These are often misdiagnosed as idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension or pulmonaryhypertensionduetochronicvenousthromboembolism.In cases oflatediagnosis, patients haveoften receivedinappropriateor incomplete therapeutic strategies withlittleclinicalbenefit.
III.Pathophysiology
Pulmonary artery stenosis results in varying degrees of ventilation/perfusion mismatch, pulmonary hypertension,vascularinjuryinunaffectedsegments,elevationsofrightheartpressure,rightventricular
https://t.me/med1917
dysfunction,andlimitationsofcardiacoutput.Inthepresenceofanintra-cardiacshunt(eg,patentforamen ovale,atrialseptaldefect,orventricularseptaldefect)obstructiontopulmonarybloodflowcanresultin cyanosisfromshuntingofdeoxygenatedbloodtothesystemiccirculationduetoincreasedresistanceto pulmonary blood flow. Untreated, pulmonary artery stenosis can contribute to exercise limitation, diminished quality oflife,and,in thecase ofcongenital lesions and stenosis due toprevious cardiac surgery,limitedpulmonaryvasculargrowthandpost-operativemortality.

Rapid advancements incatheter, balloon, stent and guidewire technologies, as well as refinements in angioplasty techniques, broadened the scope of lesions that can be safely treated with transcatheter therapies.Inthecurrentera,simpleballoonangioplasty,cuttingballoonangioplasty,andstentangioplasty aretheprimaryinterventionsforpulmonaryarterialstenosis.
B.IndicationsforIntervention
Generallyagreeduponindicationsforinterventionare
8,9
1.Significantelevationinrightventricularsystolicpressures(≥2/3systemic)
2.Significantstenosisinthesettingofrightventriculardysfunction
3.Pulmonaryarterystenosiswithamarkedperfusioninequalityordeficit
4. Regional pulmonary artery hypertension in unaffected lung segments (mean distal pressure
>25mmHg)
5.Pulmonaryarterynarrowing/distortioninpatientswithcavopulmonaryanastomoses
V.GoalsofTherapyandMeasuresofSuccess
The goals of intervention include reduction in right ventricle pressure, improved distribution of pulmonary blood flow, preservation and improved growth of distal pulmonary vasculature, pressure reduction in unobstructed lung segments,andimprovementinexercise capacity. Therapeuticsuccessis measuredbyangiographicand/orclinical/physiologicimprovement.10Nuclearperfusionimaging helps assessregionalpulmonaryperfusionandtheneedforandsuccessofanintervention.

A.BalloonExpansion
1.Ingeneral,balloonseitherexpanduniformlywithadiscretewaistatthesiteofhighestresistance,or
nonuniformlywithoutadiscretewaist.
2.Thelatterisoftenassociatedwithstenosisduetoexternalcompression,kinking,orstretchingofthe
vessel.

Angiographyfollowingsuccessfulballoonangioplastyoftenshowsanon-obstructiveintra-luminalfilling defectindicativeofanappropriateintimalandmedialtear.
B.TypesofBalloonAngioplastyCatheters
A wide array of balloon angioplasty catheters is available for pulmonary artery balloon angioplasty. Balloonselectiondependsonbothpatientandtargetvesselcharacteristicswithdifferencesinguidewire size, shaft flexibility, balloon compliance, balloon and balloon shoulder length, and nominal/maximal inflationpressureimpactingangioplastycatheterchoice.
1.Low-pressureballoonangioplasty.Low-pressureballoonangioplasty(4-10atm)usingballoons2-4
timeslargerthanthetargetminimallumendiameterhasbeensuccessfulinupto60%oflesions.
13,14
2.High-pressureballoonangioplasty.Successrateswithhigh-pressureballoonangioplasty(10-22atm)
exceed those seen with low-pressure balloons. Furthermore, successful high-pressure angioplasty is frequently achieved at lower balloon:minimal lumen ratios than those needed for low-pressure angioplasty.15Thus,withhigh-pressureangioplasty,amoreconservativeapproach,startingwithratiosof 2-3:1,withincrementalincreasesintheabsenceofsuccessmaybepreferable.
3.Inrecentstudies,uptoone-thirdofpulmonaryarterystenosesremainresistanttohigh-pressureballoon
angioplasty.9 Resistance to angioplastyis more common in distal pulmonaryarteries while proximal vesselsexhibithigherratesofrecoil.Thisislikelyrelatedtothevariablemechanismsofstenosisatthese sites.Restenosisratesof10%-35%havebeenreportedfollowingsimpleballoonangioplasty.

VII.CuttingBalloonAngioplasty
Cuttingballoonangioplastyforpulmonaryarterystenosiswasfirstreportedin199917andhassincebeen reported in multiple series and studied in a randomizedtrial comparing cutting balloonangioplasty to high-pressure balloon angioplasty.18 Cutting balloons improve the overall success rate for pulmonary artery angioplasty, particularly for lesions resistant to standard high-pressure balloon dilation. The microsurgicalbladesofthecuttingballooncreatepreciselongitudinal“incisions”alongthelengthofthe targetlesion.Theincisionsareformedatlowerpressuresthanthoserequiredtocreateanintimal/medial tearwithastandardangioplastyballoon,andthuscuttingballoonsmayreducetheriskofvesselrupture. Resultsare bestin pulmonary arterystenosesthatexhibita discretewaistduring standardangioplasty. Success in long-segment stenoses, diffusely hypoplastic pulmonary arteries, and pulmonary arteries exhibitingsignificantrecoilislimited.

Small diameter, 6-, 10-, and 15-mm long cutting balloons are available from 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm in diameterin0.25mmincrements(Flextome,BostonScientific).Theseareavailableasbothover-the-wire andmonorail systems. Importantly, theseonly accepta 0.014″ guidewire; thus guidewire exchangeis frequently required when switching from a standard angioplasty balloon to a small diameter cutting balloon.Largediametercutting balloonsarelimitedto2 cmlengthsandareavailable from 5-8mmin
https://t.me/med1917
diameterin1mmincrements.Theseballoonsrequirea0.018″guidewire. Aswith standardballoonangioplasty,cuttingballoonsizeselectionis dependenton the minimallumen diameterofthetargetlesionandthediameteroftheadjacentnormalvessel.Successfuldilationfrequently requiresballoondiameters200%-400%oftheminimallumendiameter.However,theballoonshouldnot be>1-2mmlargerthantheadjacentnormalvessel.Someoperatorsrecommendchoosingcuttingballoon diametersbasedonthediameterofthestandardangioplastyballoonwaistat8-15atm,selectingaballoon
0.5-1.0mmlargerthanthewaist.10Cuttingballoondilationcanthenbefollowedbyangioplastywitha slightlylargerstandardballoonthusreducingtheriskofinjurytoadjacentnormalvasculature.
A.Complications
Althoughballoonangioplastyisa relativelysafeprocedure,thereare severalcomplicationswhich the interventionalist should be aware of and prepared to address. Reported complications of balloon angioplastyinclude:death,pulmonaryedema,pneumothorax,hemoptysis,arrhythmia,hypotension,stroke, accesssiteinjury,cardiacarrest,targetvesselaneurysmformation,occlusiveintimalflaps,containedand uncontained transmural pulmonary artery tears.10 Death is most commonly due to uncontained tears. Mortalityratesof1%to9% were reportedinearlycase series.However,refinementintechniqueand improvementinavailabletechnologieshavereducedtheriskofdeath. Severalfactorsincreasetheriskofvesseltears.Balloonsexceedingtwicethediameteroftheproximalor distal “normal”vesselresult insignificantover-distension andincrease theriskforvessel ruptureand aneurysmformation, particularlyin the smallerdistalvessel.Proximal movementoftheballoonduring inflationmayindicateoversizing,andcontinuedforceddilationmayresultinvesselrupture.Riskisalso increasedinthesettingofseverepulmonaryhypertension. In the case of vessel rupture, coil embolization and covered stent implant may be life saving.
20
Techniquestoaddressanobstructingintimalflapinclude:coveredorbaremetalstentimplantation. Reperfusion injury due to the sudden increase in flow and pressure that accompanies a successful angioplastycanresultinregionalpulmonaryedemainthesegmentsubtendedbythedilatedvessel.This canrequireprolongedmechanicalventilationanddiuretictherapybuttypicallyresolveswithin72hours.
10,21
Inthesettingofsignificantventilationperfusionmismatch,impairedgasexchangeduetoedemacan
besevereandevenlethal.Increasesindistalmeanpressureto>20mmHgor>150%changeinpressure areassociatedwithdevelopmentofedema.
21
B.ProceduralConsiderations
1. General anesthesia allows for airway control/clearance in the setting of pulmonary edema or
hemorrhageandimprovedpatientcomfortandpositioningduringlongprocedures
2.Cross-matchedbloodshouldbeimmediatelyavailable
3. Guidewires should be positionedinthelargestdistal branchpossible to minimizedistention of the
distalvesselbytheangioplastyballoon
4.Balloondeploymentviaalongsheathpositionedjustproximaltotheangioplastysiteallowsfor:rapid
angiography between dilations; rapid assessment of pressure; rapid deployment of coils, occlusion devices,andstentsifnecessary;shieldingofcuttingballoonmicrotomesduringpassagethroughtheheart; andenhancedstabilityoftheballoonduringinflation
5.Stenoseslimitingflowtothelargestsegmentoflungshouldbeaddressedfirst.Ifmoredistalstenoses
arepresent,theseshouldbeaddressedfirsttolimitpassagethroughpreviouslydilatedsegmentsandto allowfortimelyrecognitionofreperfusionedema
