Successful radiofrequency pulmonary vein isolation in a patient with pneumonectomy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among electrophysiologic procedures, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is challenging, requiring the isolation of all pulmonary veins (PVs). AF is associated with serious complications including PV stenosis. Presently described was a technically challenging case of PV isolation in a patient with left-sided pneumonectomy due to lung cancer.

Left atrial flutter after segmental ostial radiofrequency catheter ablation for pulmonary vein isolation.
Segmental ostial ablation to electrically isolate pulmonary veins has been performed for atrial fibrillation. Left atrial flutter that utilized a critical isthmus adjacent to the ostium of the left superior pulmonary vein was diagnosed and successfully ablated in a patient 3 months after a successful pulmonary vein isolation procedure. Documenting the cause of symptoms after pulmonary vein isol...
متن کاملMassive hemoptysis due to pulmonary vein stenosis following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Pulmonary vein stenosis, which is one of the rare complications of radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, has various symptoms. Here, we report a rare case of massive hemoptysis due to pulmonary vein stenosis following radiofrequency catheter ablation, which was successfully managed with pneumonectomy.

BACKGROUND The use of second-generation cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation has demonstrated encouraging acute and mid-term results. Long-term outcome data are not yet available. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty patients (18 women; mean age, 61±11 years; mean left atrial diameter, 43±5 mm) with paroxysmal (36 of 50 patients; 72%) or short-standing...

INTRODUCTION No prior studies have quantitatively analyzed the characteristics of bipolar or unipolar electrograms that may be helpful in identifying successful ostial ablation sites in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing segmental pulmonary vein isolation. METHODS AND RESULTS The characteristics of bipolar and unipolar electrograms recorded at 185 successful and 120 unsuccessful ost...
متن کاملSuccessful use of bivalirudin in place of heparin infusion for pulmonary vein isolation using a cryoballoon catheter in a patient with heparin allergy
Current guidelines recommend using bivalirudin as an alternative to unfractionated heparin in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a well-established treatment strategy for patients with drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) and requires systemic anticoagulation to avoid thromboembolic events, ge...
