Pulmonary vein reconstruction for pulmonary vein stenosis and occlusion after surgical ablation
General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021Acquired pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis (PVS) is a complication following cardiac catheter intervention. However, very few cases of PVS after surgical ablation have been reported. We herein report a case of stenosis and occlusion at the left atrium to each pulmonary vein after surgical ablation.

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 ...

Lobectomy for Pulmonary Vein Occlusion Secondary to Radiofrequency Ablation
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2010Pulmonary Vein Occlusion After RF Ablation. Pulmonary vein stenosis, a recognized complication of transcatheter radiofrequency ablation in the left atrium, is often asymptomatic. Significant stenosis is commonly treated with percutaneous balloon dilation with or without stenting.

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.

Hybrid Approach for Recanalization and Stenting of Acquired Pulmonary Vein Occlusion
Pediatric Cardiology, 2016A 5-year-old child with a Fontan circulation presented with acquired left pulmonary vein occlusion related to a previous surgical repair. We managed this lesion using a hybrid technique to perforate, dilate and stent the obstructed vessel. This approach should be considered when percutaneous access to the pulmonary veins is challenging (such as in a ...

Intravascular Sarcoidosis Presenting as Pulmonary Vein Occlusion
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2007It is well known that destruction of the distal capillary bed from extensive fibrosis and honeycombing in the setting of sarcoidosis may lead to pulmonary hypertension. However, we report an unusual manifestation of sarcoidosis where pulmonary hypertension resulted from granulomatous involvement of the pulmonary veins and venules.

Lung Perfusion Scintigraphy in Pulmonary Vein Occlusion After Radiofrequency Ablation
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2021Abstract We describe functional and anatomical imaging findings in an 86-year-old woman who was treated for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation 5 years ago with radiofrequency ablation. She had been symptom-free for 4 years. Five years after the ablation, she presented with exertional dyspnea of several months’ duration. She had left bundle branch
