AbstractCatheter ablation (CA) of the pulmonary veins for atrial fibrillation (AF) is growing exponentially and is the most commonly performed electrophysiologic procedure. Initial descriptions focused on CA for paroxysmal AF, and now more recently expanded in application to persistent AF and those with comorbid heart failure. Efforts to improve success have and continue to address issues such as pulmonary vein “reconnection” following ablation through different ablative energy modalities, and the use of a “hybrid” surgical/endocardial combined approach in persistent forms of AF. Technologic advances as well are concurrently seeking to improve safety, particularly regarding the incidence of atrio-esophageal fistula in this seemingly ever-growing ablation population.

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.
