Percutaneous Pulmonary Vein Angioplasty for the Pulmonary Vein Stenosis After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the frequent complications. Percutaneous PV angioplasty and stent implantation have been used as an effective therapy for this condition, yet the in-stent restenosis rate tends to increase after stent implantation at the stenotic PVs. This seems to be caused by neointimal hyperplasia...
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 کاملPercutaneous pulmonary vein stenting for the treatment of severe stenosis after pulmonary vein isolation.
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a potential complication of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using radiofrequency energy. The aim of our study was the evaluation of the severity and long-term outcome of primary angioplasty and angioplasty with pulmonary vein stenting for PVS. METHODS AND RESULTS Twelve patients with 15 PVS (greater than 70% stenosis) were prospectively evaluated. ...
متن کاملPulmonary vein stenosis after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Tree randomized trials (PIAF, AFFIRM, and RACE)1-3 recently showed that rate control was not inferior compared to rhythm control for treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it should be noted that frequent recurrences of AF and adverse effects of drugs decrease the potential benefits of rhythm control, prompting discontinuation of failed drugs in up to 40% of patients.2 In...
متن کاملTranscatheter angioplasty for acquired pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency ablation.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary vein stenosis has recently been recognized as a complication of radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. This study evaluates the presentation of affected patients and the role of transcatheter therapy for this patient population. METHODS AND RESULTS This study used a retrospective review of data from 19 patients (age, 51+/-13 years) with pulmonary vein stenosis w...
