Recurrent haemoptysis as a symptom of severe pulmonary vein stenosis—a rare complication of catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation
A pulmonary vein stenosis is a known adverse event of catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation. However, it should be considered due to high frequency of such procedures. Haemoptysis, a symptom of severe stenosis, is often misdiagnosed as other different diseases. We present a case report of a 52-year-old patient with recurrent haemoptysis, dyspnoea, and fatigue, which turned out to be complica...
متن کاملPulmonary vein occlusion/stenosis after pulmonary vein ablation for atrial fibrillation.
In this issue of the Journal. Ernst et al.1 report three cases of total pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion in 239 patients who underwent an ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients initially were evaluated by internists and pulmonologists and underwent extensive evaluation before the diagnosis was finally made. Despite treatment with thrombolytics, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors a...
متن کاملIncidence of pulmonary vein stenosis 2 years after radiofrequency catheter ablation of refractory atrial fibrillation.
AIMS Pulmonary vein ablation offers the potential to cure patients with atrial fibrillation. In this study, we investigated the incidence of pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency catheter ablation of refractory atrial fibrillation by systematic long-term follow-up. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-seven patients with refractory and highly symptomatic atrial fibrillation underwent radiofrequen...
متن کاملControlled Atrial Fibrillation after Pulmonary Vein Stenting
When there is no pulmonary vein reconnection after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, patients can experience recurrence of atrial fibrillation without clear evidence of non-pulmonary vein foci. We describe a patient with significant pulmonary vein stenosis and recurrent atrial fibrillation after four ablation procedures. After successful pulmonary vein stenting, the symptoms were resol...
متن کاملPulmonary vein stenosis after second-generation cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in paroxysmal 1 AF patients. In addition to a radiofrequency ablation catheter, a cryoballoon has been proven as an effective technology in PVI for AF. Recently several randomized trials have shown that cryoballoon ablation was noninferior to radiofrequency ablation with respect to ef...
