Pulmonary venous thrombosis secondary to radiofrequency ablation of the pulmonary veins
Background Pulmonary Vein Thrombosis (PVT) is a rare and underdiagnosed entity produced by local mechanical nature mechanisms, vascular torsion or direct injury to the vein. PVT has been described in clinical cases or small multicenter series mainly in relation to pulmonary vein stenosis, metastatic carcinoma, fibrosing mediastinitis, as an early surgical complication of lung transplantation lo...
متن کاملPulmonary venous thrombosis and infarction complicating pulmonary venous stenosis following radiofrequency ablation.
Pulmonary vein stenosis is a recently described complication of radiofrequency ablation. We report a patient who experienced thrombosis of the lingular vein and pulmonary infarction resulting from mild single-vessel pulmonary vein stenosis. This report extends available experience with complications of radiofrequency ablation, by demonstrating pulmonary venous thrombosis as a complication of re...
متن کاملArchitecture of the pulmonary veins: relevance to radiofrequency ablation.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation of tissues in pulmonary veins can eliminate paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics of normal pulmonary veins so as to provide more information relevant to radiofrequency ablation. METHODS 20 structurally normal heart specimens were examined grossly. Histological sections were made from 65 pulmonary veins. RESULTS The lon...
متن کاملPredictors of Luminal Loss in Pulmonary Veins After Radiofrequency Ablation.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The reported incidences of stenosis after radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary veins are highly variable. Moreover, most studies have focused on severe stenosis and have overlooked mild stenosis. Our aims were to study postablation morphological changes in the pulmonary veins and to evaluate preablation magnetic resonance imaging predictors for stenosis. METHODS Ei...
متن کاملPulmonary hemorrhage due to pulmonary venous occlusion after radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
A recent worldwide survey reported that the frequency of PV stenoses requiring intervention was 0.29% [1] . Packer et al. [2] reported that only 1 case had hemoptysis in 23 patients with PV stenosis after ablation. An early diagnosis using multi-detector cardiac CT or dynamic MRI after ablation is the diagnostic modality of choice. Although angioplasty was not applied in either case, the Case 1...
