First clinical insights into pulsed field ablation for pulmonary vein stumps [PDF]
It has been reported that pulmonary vein stumps after lung lobectomy can act as triggers for atrial fibrillation. These two cases represent the first report of successful pulmonary vein isolation by pulsed field ablation using the pentaspline catheter after pulmonary lobectomy under intracardiac echocardiography guidance.

Pulmonary Vein Stump: A Left Atrial Cardioembolic Source. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the most common nidus for thrombus formation in atrial arrythmias. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of acute limb ischemia initially thought to be embolic due to LAA thrombus from atrial flutter. Transesophageal echocardiography before direct current cardioversion demonstrated a LAA without thrombus and ...

Ablation of atrial arrhythmias after lobectomy: high-density mapping and CT integration to guide individualized treatment [PDF]
Background Atrial fibrillation is a known complication following thoracic surgery, with residual pulmonary vein (PV) stumps often implicated as sources of arrhythmogenic triggers.

Association between left atrial function and pulmonary vein stump thrombus after left upper lobectomy: insights from cine-MRI. [PDF]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate left atrial function using cine-magnetic resonance imaging (cine-MRI) in patients with pulmonary vein stump thrombus (PVST) after left upper lobectomy (LUL). The study population comprised 91 patients (30 with PVST and 61 without PVST) who underwent LUL for pulmonary lesions and evaluation by cine-MRI.

Acute limb ischemia by a pulmonary vein stump thrombus after left lower lobectomy: a case report [PDF]
Abstract Background Cases of systemic thromboembolism due to thrombus formation in the pulmonary vein stump after lobectomy have been reported recently. Cerebral infarction after left upper lobectomy is a common symptom in these cases.

Abstract Objectives A thrombus can occur in the stump of the pulmonary vein after left upper lobectomy, potentially causing postoperative cerebral infarction. This study aimed to verify the hypothesis that stagnation of blood flow inside the pulmonary vein stump causes thrombus formation ...

Left upper lobectomy can be a risk factor for thrombosis in the pulmonary vein stump [PDF]
Thrombosis in the left upper pulmonary vein stump after left upper lobectomy is a very rare but important complication because it occurs in the systemic circulation system. We previously made the first ever report on the frequency and risk factors of thrombosis in the pulmonary vein stump after lobectomy. In this study, we conducted an investigation in

Blood stasis may cause thrombosis in the left superior pulmonary vein stump after left upper lobectomy [PDF]
We previously reported that arterial infarction of vital organs after lobectomy might occur only after left upper lobectomy and be caused by thrombosis in the left superior pulmonary vein stump. We hypothesized that changes in blood flow, such as blood stasis and disturbed stagnant flow, in the left superior pulmonary vein stump cause thrombosis, and ...
