Pulmonary Vein Occlusion Requiring Lobectomy after Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature [PDF]

Lietuvos Chirurgija, 2023
Pulmonary vein stenosis is a potential complication after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. We present an unusual case of this complication that progressed to vein occlusion and required lobectomy and review the literature.

Lobectomy due to Pulmonary Vein Occlusion after Radiofrequency Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018
Radiofrequency ablation is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary vein stenosis/occlusion is one of its rare complications. Herein, the case of a 50-year-old man with hemoptysis and migratory pulmonary infiltrations after transcatheter radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation is presented.

A Case of Pulmonary Varix Associated with Superior Pulmonary Vein Occlusion

Annals of Vascular Diseases, 2012
A pulmonary varix is a localized dilatation of a pulmonary vein, which is usually asymptomatic presented as a mass on a chest roentgenogram, and diagnosed with pulmonary angiography. We encountered a case of 55 year-old man, in whom incidentally identified was a dilated blood vessel that passed through the minor fissure and returned to the inferior ...

Assessment and Management of Pulmonary Vein Occlusion After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2018
This study sought to evaluate the sensitivity of noninvasive imaging in the assessment of severely stenosed and occluded pulmonary veins, and examine clinical outcomes following percutaneous intervention.PV stenosis (PVS) is a rare complication of atrial fibrillation ablation, but is associated with significant morbidity.
