Pulmonary Vein Occlusion/Stenosis After Pulmonary Vein Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
In this issue of the Journal. Ernst et al.1 report three cases of total pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion in 239 patients who underwent an ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients initially were evaluated by internists and pulmonologists and underwent extensive evaluation before the diagnosis was finally made.

A Case of Pulmonary Varix Associated with Superior Pulmonary Vein Occlusion
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 ...

Role of Transthoracic Echocardiography in the Evaluation of Patients with Retinal Vein Occlusion [PDF]
Introduction: Retinal vein occlusion is a common vascular disorder disrupting vision. Two basic types of RVO are branch retinal vein occlusion and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Retinal vein occlusion is a multifactor process including systemic

Venous thromboembolism - Expanding therapeutic options
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is caused by the formation of blood clots within a vein resulting in vein occlusion and risk of blood clots travelling to the pulmonary arteries.
