# Pulmonary Vein Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting for Left Superior and Inferior Pulmonary Vein Stenosis/Occlusion After Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

## TL;DR

This case report shows how balloon angioplasty and stenting can treat lung vein narrowing after heart rhythm treatment.

## Contribution

Demonstrates successful use of balloon angioplasty and stenting for post-RFA PVS/O, emphasizing early detection and intervention.

## Key findings

- Balloon angioplasty and stent implantation effectively alleviated symptoms in a patient with PVS/O.
- Early intervention reduced the risk of developing pulmonary hypertension.
- PVS/O should be considered in patients with dyspnea and cough following RFA.

## Abstract

Early detection and prompt intervention are essential for managing pulmonary vein stenosis and occlusion (PVS/O) following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial fibrillation (AF). This case report highlights the importance of considering PVS/O in patients with dyspnea and cough post‐RFA and underscores the effectiveness of balloon angioplasty and stent implantation in alleviating symptoms and reducing the risk of pulmonary hypertension.
