Asymptomatic Pulmonary Vein Stenosis: Hemodynamic Adaptation and Successful Ablation
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2016 Pulmonary vein stenosis is a well-established possible complication following an atrial fibrillation ablation of pulmonary veins. Symptoms of pulmonary vein stenosis range from asymptomatic to severe exertional dyspnea.

Ultrasonic characterization of the pulmonary venous wall: echographic and histological correlation [PDF]
, 2002 Background: Pulmonary vein isolation with radiofrequency catheter ablation techniques is used to prevent recurrences of human atrial fibrillation. Visualization of the architecture at the venoatrial junction could be crucial for these ablative techniques.

Pulmonary vein stenosis: Challenges ahead [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015 In this issue of the Journal, Quinonez and colleagues 1 report their experience with and treatment of 49 patients with pulmonary vein stenosis. This article takes on the very difficult challenge to map out the ‘‘relentless’’ nature of multivessel pulmonary vein stenosis and the multidisciplinary commitments that are required for its treatment.

Liver Transplantation for Alagille's Syndrome [PDF]
, 1993 Twenty-three children with Alagille's syndrome and end-stage liver disease underwent liver transplantation with cyclosporine and low-dose steroid immunosuppression. Two to 9 years (mean, 4.4 years) after surgery, 13 (57%) of the children were still alive,

Pulmonary Vein Occlusion and Lung Infarction after Radiofrequency Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Case Reports in Pulmonology, 2020 Background. Pulmonary vein (PV) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective technique for a selected group of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs (Alfudhili et al., 2017).

Left atrial anomalous muscular band as incidental finding during video-assisted mitral surgery [PDF]
, 2018 Congenital fibromuscular bands have been described inleft ventricle or right atrium and have been diagnosed by echocardiography and CT scan. The first report of anomalous band in the left atrium was described in 1897 by Rollestone (1).

Children, 2021 Pulmonary vein stenosis is a serious condition characterized by restriction or blockage due to fibrotic tissue ingrowth that develops in the pulmonary veins of infants or children. It is often progressive and can lead to severe pulmonary hypertension and

, 2014 Congenital pulmonary vein stenosis (PVnS) can happen as a focal stenosis at the atrial connection site or complete hypoplasia in one or more of the pulmonary veins. Indeed, the primary form of PVnS with a pathological appearance similar to that in childhood cases has been reported rarely in unoperated adult patients [1, 2].
