Key result
Stenting remains the preferred treatment for severe PVS following AF ablation despite high recurrent restenosis.
Why the study?
Pulmonary vein stenosis complicating ablation for atrial fibrillation causes remarkable morbidity and presents insidiously with non-specific symptoms, leading to detection delay and major adverse implications.

May inform post-ablation stenosis management; leaves open randomized trials on stenting durability.
This comprehensive review outlines the pathophysiology, detection, treatment, and prevention of pulmonary vein stenosis following atrial fibrillation ablation, highlighting stenting as the preferred management strategy.
Bartorelli et al. (2025) conducted a review in Pulmonary vein stenosis after ablation of atrial fibrillation. This comprehensive review highlights that stenting is the preferred treatment for severe and symptomatic pulmonary vein stenosis following atrial fibrillation ablation, though recurrent restenosis remains high.
