Pulmonary Vein Stenosis in a Newborn: A Commonly Overlooked Diagnosis
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2015 The diagnosis of primary pulmonary vein stenosis is often overlooked because its symptoms overlap lung diseases and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Its diagnosis may be difficult because the condition is progressive and associated with other defects. We

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.

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2023 A 4.5-year-old patient with tricuspid atresia, pulmonary stenosis, bilateral superior vena cava veins with absent innominate vein, and hypoplasia of the left pulmonary artery required a bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis. An innominate vein

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation : radiofrequency catheter ablation for redo procedures after cryoablation [PDF]
, 2013 Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of two different strategies using radiofrequency catheter ablation for redo procedures after cryoablation of atrial fibrillation. Methods: Thirty patients (paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: 22 patients, persistent atrial

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.

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).

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.

Non-invasive assessment of pulmonary vascular resistance in pulmonary hypertension: Current knowledge and future direction [PDF]
, 2017 Pulmonary Hypertension (PHT) is relatively common, dangerous and under-recognised. Pulmonary hypertension is not a diagnosis in itself; it is caused by a number of differing diseases each with different treatments and prognoses.

Management of Pediatric Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, 2022 Pediatric intraluminal pulmonary vein stenosis has evolved into a chronic illness, with improving survival. Although significant knowledge gaps remain, medical providers have found success in the management of patients with pulmonary vein stenosis using a comprehensive multimodality treatment strategy. This review discusses the core principles employed

, 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].
