Role of non-pulmonary vein triggers in persistent atrial fibrillation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Arrhythmia, 2023
Pulmonary vein isolation is an well-established treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF), and it is especially effective for patients with paroxysmal AF.

Efficient Uncertainty Quantification in a Multiscale Model of Pulmonary Arterial and Venous Hemodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Computational hemodynamics models are becoming increasingly useful in the management and prognosis of complex, multiscale pathologies, including those attributed to the development of pulmonary vascular disease. However, diseases like pulmonary hypertension are heterogeneous, and affect both the proximal arteries and veins as well as the ...

Unilateral pulmonary vein atresia: A rare case of hemoptysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present a rare case of hemoptysis secondary to isolated unilateral pulmonary vein atresia. Isolated pulmonary vein atresia is a rare condition in which patients typically acquire a diagnosis in infancy and early childhood [Mataciunas et al ...

Echocardiographic Assessment of the Pulmonary Venous Flow: An Indicator of Increased Pulmonary Flow in Congenital Cardiac Malformations

open access: yesArquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2002
OBJECTIVE: To identify the left inferior pulmonary vein as an indirect marker of increased pulmonary flow in congenital heart diseases.METHODS: We carried out a prospective consecutive study on 40 patients divided into 2 groups as follows: G1 - 20 ...

Mind the gap: quantification of incomplete ablation patterns after pulmonary vein isolation using minimum path search [PDF]

open access: yesMedical Image Analysis, 51, 1-12, (2018), 2018
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a common procedure for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). A successful isolation produces a continuous lesion (scar) completely encircling the veins that stops activation waves from propagating to the atrial body.

Pulmonary embolism as a complication of an electrophysiological study: a case report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Electrophysiological studies have become an established practice in the evaluation and treatment of arrhythmias. Symptomatic pulmonary embolism as a result of deep vein thrombosis arising from multiple venous sheath femoral vein ...

Mal-Positioning of Dialysis Catheter in Anomalous Left Superior Pulmonary Vein in a Patient with Acute Type A Dissection, a Case Report

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
The partial anomalous pulmonary vein drainage is a rare congenital defect. The pulmonary vein drains in to a systemic vein instead of draining in to the left atrium.

Permissive role of reduced inwardly-rectifying potassium current density in the automaticity of the guinea pig pulmonary vein myocardium

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2017
The electrophysiological properties underlying the automaticity of the guinea pig pulmonary vein myocardium were studied. About 30% of the isolated pulmonary vein tissue preparations showed spontaneous electrical activity, as shown by glass ...

Pulmonary Vein Occlusion and Lung Infarction after Radiofrequency Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesCase Reports in Pulmonology, 2020
Background. Pulmonary vein (PV) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective technique for a selected group of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs (Alfudhili et al., 2017).

Molecular Analysis of Prothrombotic Gene Variants in Venous Thrombosis: A Potential Role for Sex and Thrombotic Localization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background: Requests to test for thrombophilia in the clinical context are often not evidence-based. Aim: To define the role of a series of prothrombotic gene variants in a large population of patients with different venous thromboembolic diseases ...
