Recanalization may improve symptoms and perfusion in post-ablation pulmonary vein occlusion; observational data leave open need for randomized confirmation of durability.
Does percutaneous recanalization improve symptoms and lung perfusion in patients with total pulmonary vein occlusion after ablation?
Percutaneous recanalization of total pulmonary vein occlusion post-ablation is feasible and improves symptoms and lung perfusion, though reocclusion is common and often requires staged intervention.
