Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation in the Postpneumonectomy Population: A Feasibility, Safety, and Outcomes Study

Abstract

PV stumps in AF patients with previous pneumonectomy are electrically active and are frequently the sites of active firing. Isolation of these PV stumps can be accomplished safely and effectively using catheter ablation with no practical concern for PV stenosis or compromising PV stump integrity.
