Mid-term outcomes of the sutureless marsupialization technique for acquired pulmonary vein stenosis and occlusion
The sutureless marsupialization technique offers good mid-term outcomes for acquired pulmonary vein stenosis and pulmonary vein occlusion after catheter ablation. By avoiding direct vein wall suturing, this approach may reduce restenosis. These results support its potential as a surgical option in selected patients with this rare complication.
