塑性支气管炎是指气管支气管树内形成橡胶状的大支气管管型，导致气道阻塞。我们描述了一名患有 Fontan 生理学并患有塑性支气管炎的 4 岁女孩，并首次报告使用雾化组织纤溶酶原激活剂治疗这种疾病。文献综述的重点是单心室生理患者中这种疾病的发生。
Plastic bronchitis is a condition in which large, bronchial casts with rubber-like consistency develop in the tracheobronchial tree and cause airway obstruction. We describe a 4-year-old girl who had Fontan physiology and who developed plastic bronchitis and report for the first time the use of aerosolized tissue plasminogen activator for treatment of this condition. The literature is reviewed with emphasis placed on the occurrence of this disorder in patients with single ventricle physiology.
