Occlusion tool software for pulmonary vein occlusion verification in atrial fibrillation cryoballoon ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2020
AbstractBackgroundOptimal pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion, usually verified with selective contrast injection, is mandatory to obtain an effective PV isolation during cryoballoon (CB) ablation.Aim of the studyThe purpose of this study was to verify the feasibility and the accuracy of a new dielectric sensing system in assessing PV occlusion during CB ...

The use of lobectomy for management of clinically significant pulmonary vein stenosis and occlusion refractory to percutaneous intervention

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a serious complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. The prevalence of this complication was reported to be as high as 42% in 1999 when RFA was first implemented [1].

Percutaneous revascularization of a chronic total occlusion of the left lower pulmonary vein.

The Journal of invasive cardiology, 2014
Pulmonary vein stenosis occurs in 1.3% of patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation procedures for atrial fibrillation. Complete occlusion can occur and is often associated with symptoms including dyspnea and chest pain. Percutaneous intervention with angioplasty and stenting is frequently performed for pulmonary vein stenosis, but management of ...
