Research progress on congenital heart diseases of diminutive pulmonary blood / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Congenital heart diseases of diminutive pulmonary blood are characterized by the decrease of pulmonary blood flow accompanied with pulmonary stenosis or atresia.Diminutive pulmonary blood leads to abnormal development of lung, the formation of major aorta pulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) and a complex cardiac anatomy structure in children, thereby resulting in serious clinical symptoms, poor quality of life and even life-threatening conditions.Therefore, diminutive pulmonary blood is a thorny problem in the treatment of cardiac malformation.However, the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease have not been elucidated yet.The clinical treatment plan and time depend on the disease type and MAPCAs.In this paper, the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment progress of congenital heart diseases of diminutive pulmonary blood were reviewed.
