Transcatheter Angioplasty for Acquired Pulmonary Vein Stenosis After Radiofrequency Ablation

Abstract

Pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation is often misdiagnosed. Although further follow-up is necessary to determine long-term success, our data indicate better pulmonary vein flow and symptomatic improvement in the majority of patients undergoing dilation of postablation pulmonary vein stenosis.
