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.

Pulmonary vein isolation in a patient with dextrocardia
EP Europace, 2012A 61-year-old lady with known dextrocardia and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) was referred for ablation. Computed tomography (CT) of the thorax (frontal plan as shown in Figure 1 …

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 ...

Different strategies for performing pulmonary vein isolation in patients with pulmonary vein rhythm
Heart and Vessels, 2011Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation was performed in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients whose cardiac rhythm was dominated by the ectopic beats originating from the PV. We herein report two cases with dominant PV ectopic rhythm that underwent catheter ablation for the treatment of paroxysmal AF.

Pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2004A 52-year-old man presented to our institution because of recurrent episodes of atrial fibrillation and counterclockwise atrial flutter, refractory to medical therapy with different regimens including amiodarone, and after several cardioversions to restore in sinus rhythm. Coronary artery stenosis was ruled out invasively.

Common pulmonary vein on the recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia after pulmonary vein isolation
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2019AbstractAimsCatheter ablation has become an effective treatment modality for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the relationship between common pulmonary vein (PV) and recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATA) after PV isolation (PVI) remains controversial.
