Total pulmonary vein occlusion complicating pulmonary vein isolation: Diagnosis and treatment
Heart Rhythm, 2010Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) complicating pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) can progress to total pulmonary vein occlusion (PVO). Little is known about the accuracy of noninvasive diagnosis and treatment of PVO.The purpose of this study was to study the diagnostic accuracy of noninvasive testing and the feasibility and outcome of percutaneous ...

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 ...

Balloon Catheters for Pulmonary Vein Isolation
Herz Kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen, 2008The mainstay of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The shortcomings of a point-by-point ablation approach using radiofrequency current steadily kindle the interest in new energy sources and catheter designs.

Isolated atresia of the left pulmonary veins
International Journal of Cardiology, 1985Four cases of congenital isolated atresia of the left pulmonary veins were observed over a 12-year period. The diagnosis was established through radionuclide pulmonary perfusion studies together with cardiac catheterization and pulmonary arteriography.

An unusual complication of a pulmonary vein isolation
Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, 2009A 59 year old patient with drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) was referred for a pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). He complained of severe chest pain during the procedure. Subtle ST segment elevation was noted in the high lateral territory (I & aVL). He had no risk factors for coronary artery disease.

Cryoballoon ablation for pulmonary vein isolation
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2020AbstractOver the past 20 years, multiple studies have demonstrated the superiority of percutaneous catheter‐based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Unfortunately, the results of catheter ablation can be limited by arrhythmia recurrence, which is often a result of a failure to achieve durable lesions around ...
