| Popis: | Radiofrequency ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation are occasionally associated with pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS). A common treatment for PVS is catheter intervention; however, because of the high restenosis rate, it is not suitable for young patients. The case presented herein is of a young male patient with severe bilateral PVS who underwent successful surgical pulmonary vein repair by sutureless technique. The stenotic lesions of the pulmonary veins were dissected and were covered using autologous pericardium. An enhanced computed tomographic scan revealed that all the pulmonary veins were widely patent after 6 months from the operation. |
