Vein Stenosis

A pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis is a rare adverse event associated with catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, which can potentially impair quality of life. Although percutaneous PV angioplasty is performed as the initial treatment of choice, the incidence of restenosis is reported to be considerably high. Herein, we describe a successful case of severe PV stenosis treated by primary surgical repair using the atriopericardial anastomosis technique via right minithoracotomy.

Introduction: Left atrioesophageal fistula is a rare but devastating complication that can occur following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Methods : Fifty patients undergoing AF ablation for paroxysmal and persistent/permanent symptomatic atrial fibrillation refractory to AAD have been enrolled and randomized into 2 groups: those undergoing the procedure under conscious sedation with fentanil or midazolam (25 patients, group and those receiving general anesthesia (25 patients, group All patients underwent esophageal temperature monitoring during the procedure. Radiofrequency energy was discontinued when the luminal temperature reached 39 C. After ablation all patients had capsule endoscopy to assess the presence for endoluminal tissue damage of the esophagus. Results : The results are shown in the table below Conclusion : The use of general anesthesia increases the risk of positive esophageal findings by capsule endoscopy
