Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac rhythm disturbance and its incidence is increasing. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is a highly successful therapy for treating AF, and its use is becoming more widespread; however, with its increasing use and evolving technique, known complications are better understood and new complications are ...

Chest injuries have become more common due to the increasing number of motor vehicle accidents. In such cases, it is necessary to exclude serious underlying visceral damage. When the lung is injured, minor lacerations heal spontaneously, while more severe injury produces persistent collapse and leakage of air and blood into the pleural cavity.

Abstract The literature now embodies 133 case reports of anomalous drainage of pulmonary veins. Of these patients, partial drainage into the right atrium occurred in 75, and complete drainage into this chamber or its tributaries occurred in 56. Additional cardiovascular anomalies were present in 23 of the latter group of patients. Partial drainage of

Cardiac Veins and Pulmonary Veins
2012In the field of noncoronary applications of cardiac CT the study of the cardiac and pulmonary veins is of great use for the cardiologist, the former particularly in patients with heart failure who require electrical resynchronization of the cardiac chambers (cardiac resynchronization therapy or biventricular pacing) and the latter in patients scheduled

Congenital Narrowing of a Pulmonary Vein: Slit‐like Pulmonary Vein Ostium
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2011We report the case of a 60‐year‐old female with a history of refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Preablation contrast enhanced pulmonary vein computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a slit‐like narrowing of the left inferior pulmonary vein ostium. The narrowing measured approximately 3 mm, with poststenotic dilation.

Pulmonary Vein Atresia with Severe Contralateral Pulmonary Vein Stenosis in a Child
Pediatric Cardiology, 2012Unilateral pulmonary vein atresia is a very rare congenital anomaly associated with high morbidity and mortality. Most cases present in infancy or childhood with recurrent respiratory infections or hemoptysis. Further, the diagnosis can often be difficult to make.

Effect of Heating on Pulmonary Veins:
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2003Introduction: The success of radiofrequency energy catheter ablation for the treatment of patients with paroxysmal or chronic atrial fibrillation has been complicated by postablation development of pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis. The acute effect of heat on PV structure has not been well characterized.

Pulmonary vein antrum isolation
Heart Rhythm, 2007Pulmonary vein antrum isolation offers safe and effective treatment of atrial fibrillation by eliminating the potential triggers of this arrhythmia. The pulmonary vein antra encompass, in addition to the pulmonary veins, the left atrial roof and posterior wall and, in the case of the right pulmonary vein antra, a portion of the interatrial septum ...

Tumors of the Pulmonary Artery and Veins
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2012The pulmonary vasculature may be involved by different primary and secondary tumors. Poorly differentiated and undifferentiated sarcomas are the most common primary tumors of the pulmonary arteries. They tend to affect the large caliber pulmonary vessels and present with predominantly intraluminal growth. Pulmonary and mediastinal metastasis are common,
