Pulmonary Vein Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting for Left Superior and Inferior Pulmonary Vein Stenosis/Occlusion After Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Early detection and prompt intervention are essential for managing pulmonary vein stenosis and occlusion (PVS/O) following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial fibrillation (AF). This case report highlights the importance of considering PVS/O in patients with dyspnea and cough post-RFA and underscores the effectiveness of balloon angioplasty and stent implantation in alleviating symptoms and reducing the risk of pulmonary hypertension.
