Catheter-based Endovascular Angioplasty for Fibrosing Mediastinitis-associated Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
Published on: August 26, 2025
Abstract:
The technical feasibility of surgical correction of abnormal venous valves is now established. In times past, it was generally thought that surgery inside the veins would be fraught with a virtual certainty of failure due to thrombosis of the vein. This has turned out to be not true. In 1968 the first venous valvuloplasty was done and since then hundreds more have been reported from surgeons in America and Europe with a very rare incidence of post-operative thrombosis. The operation is done today by any vascular surgeon who has taken the time to study the details of technique that are necessary to achieve a successful repair.
