Severe pulmonary vein stenosis after catheter ablation can cause refractory hemoptysis, which may require surgical intervention such as lobectomy.
Matsumoto et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Refractory hemoptysis and severe pulmonary vein stenosis after multiple catheter ablations (n=1). Left lung lobectomy and maze procedures was evaluated on Recurrence of hemoptysis and atrial fibrillation. Left lung lobectomy combined with a maze procedure successfully treated refractory hemoptysis and chronic atrial fibrillation caused by severe pulmonary vein stenosis after multiple catheter ablations.
