“Clinical Impact of the Cryoballoon Temperature and Occlusion Status on the Success of Pulmonary Vein Isolation” [PDF]

Journal of Atrial Fibrillation, 2018
Complete occlusion of the pulmonary veins (PVs) with the cryoballoon (CB) is considered to be the crucial factor for a successful PV isolation (PVI). We investigated whether a complete occlusion was indispensable for a successful CB based PVI of every PV.Atrial fibrillation patients (n=123, 97; paroxysmal) undergoing a de novo PVI were enrolled.

Concurrent hemorrhage and thrombosis: a case report of hemoptysis from pulmonary vein stenosis with left ventricular thrombus

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
We report a rare case of concurrent pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) and left ventricular thrombus (LVT) in a 46-year-old male with dilated cardiomyopathy and prior radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, who presented with hemoptysis and ...

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Transcatheter therapy of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with dual drainage and coarctation of the aorta in a single patient

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2018
A 12-year-old boy was found to have aortic coarctation and a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Historically, multiple cardiac pathologies, such as in the present case, required a surgical approach.

Pressure-Guided cryoablation of pulmonary veins in atrial fibrillation: A fast and effective strategy

Indian Heart Journal, 2017
Background: Cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) involves successful electrical pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Pulmonary vein (PV) ostial occlusion with cryoballoon is classically assessed using PV angiography. A pressure-guided technique to

The First Successful Transcatheter Closure of an Inferior Sinus Venosus Defect with Anomalous Drainage of the Right Lower Pulmonary Vein Using Bare and Covered Stents: A Single-Case Report

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2022
Inferior sinus venosus defect (SVD) is less common than a superior one. The lower edge of the defect straddles the orifice of the inferior vena cava, and this makes surgical repair via bicaval cannulation a technical challenge.
