  • Condition: Pulmonary Vein Stenosis (PVS)
  • Journal: Zhonghua xin xue guan bing za zhi
  • Treatment Used: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Ablation
  • Number of Patients: 47
  • Published —
This study evaluated the incidence of in-stent restenosis (when a part of an artery with a stent gets blocked; ISR) following successful stent implantation in patients with pulmonary vein stenosis (blockage in the blood) after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation (uses small burns or freezes to cause some scarring on the inside of the heart to help break up the electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats).
  • Condition: Hemoptysis After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
  • Journal: BMC cardiovascular disorders
  • Treatment Used: Combined Pulmonary Vein Stenosis Stenting and Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
  • Number of Patients: 1
  • Published —
In this case study, researchers evaluated the outcomes of performing combined pulmonary vein stenosis stenting and left atrial appendage occlusion for the treatment of a patient with hemoptysis after atrial fibrillation ablation.
  • Condition: Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection
  • Journal: European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery
  • Treatment Used: Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA)-Based Surgical Planning
  • Number of Patients: 112
  • Published —
This study evaluated the effectiveness of computed tomographic (allows the user to see inside the body without cutting; CTA)-based surgical strategy for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (blood vessels that lead from the lungs attach to the heart in incorrect places).
  • Condition: Acquired Left-Sided Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
  • Journal: European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery
  • Treatment Used: Modified Sutureless Repair Using Left Atrial Appendage Flap
  • Number of Patients: 0
  • Published —
This study described a modified sutureless technique using a left atrial appendage flap for left-sided pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency catheter ablation.
  • Condition: Recurrent Pulmonary Vein Stenosis (PVS)
  • Journal: Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
  • Treatment Used: Stenting vs Balloon Angioplasty (BA)
  • Number of Patients: 113
  • Published —
This study compared the effectiveness of stenting (tiny tube is used to keep a body tube fully open) versus balloon angioplasty (device with a small balloon on its tip is inserted through an artery in the leg or arm and threaded through the arteries until it reaches the narrowed area; BA) in preventing subsequent restenosis (recurrence of a narrowing of a blood vessel) in patients with recurrent pulmonary vein stenosis (condition in which the veins that carry blood from the lungs back to the heart are narrowed; PVS).
  • Condition: Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
  • Journal: Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
  • Treatment Used: Various Percutaneous Interventions
  • Number of Patients: 172
  • Published —
In this study, researchers compared the effectiveness of various Various percutaneous interventions for the treatment of pulmonary vein stenosis after pulmonary vein isolation.
  • Condition: Severe Pulmonary Vein Stenosis from Fibrosing Mediastinitis
  • Journal: Zhonghua xin xue guan bing za zhi
  • Treatment Used: Percutaneous Pulmonary Vein Stenting
  • Number of Patients: 5
  • Published —
This study tested the safety and efficacy of using percutaneous pulmonary vein stenting to treat patients with severe pulmonary vein stenosis that occurred from fibrosing mediastinitis.
  • Condition: Superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection
  • Journal: The Annals of thoracic surgery
  • Treatment Used: Modified two-patch technique
  • Number of Patients: 44
  • Published —
This study evaluated the outcomes of 44 patients who underwent a modified version of a previously employed two-patch repair of the superior sinus venous atrial septal defect associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection.
  • Condition: Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
  • Journal: JACC. Clinical electrophysiology
  • Treatment Used: Very High Power-Short Duration (vHPSD) Ablation
  • Number of Patients: 52
  • Published —
This study evaluated the safety and short-term effectiveness of very high power-short duration (vHPSD) ablation (destruction of an accessory conduction pathway or other troublesome area) in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (when a rapid, erratic heart rate begins suddenly and then stops on its own).
  • Condition: Extracardiac Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC)
  • Journal: General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
