Diagnosis With Brief Discussion
- Diagnosis
- Pulmonary vein stenosis after ablation therapy for arrhythmia
- Radiologic Findings
- Fig 1-3. Chest CT shows peripheral consolidations, interlobular septal thickening, and parenchymal bands in the basal segments of right lower lobe.
Fig 4-5. CT scans reveals severe stenosis of the right inferior pulmonary vein.
- Brief Review
- Acquired pulmonary vein stenosis is most often seen after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation, occurring in up to 3%
