Key result
Transcatheter pulmonary angioplasty and stenting effectively restored venous flow in two young male patients with severe multivessel pulmonary vein stenosis following atrial fibrillation ablation.
Why the study?
Pulmonary vein stenosis is an uncommon but serious complication of AF ablation often misinterpreted as primary pulmonary disease, making timely identification essential to prevent irreversible injury.
Population
Two young male patients with severe multivessel pulmonary vein stenosis after AF ablation

Prompts PVS consideration in post-AF ablation respiratory symptoms; case reports leave diagnostic pathways open for validation.
Case Report (n=2)
Endovascular stenting is an effective interventional strategy for restoring venous flow in patients with severe pulmonary vein stenosis complicating atrial fibrillation ablation.
Aurigemma et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Pulmonary vein stenosis following atrial fibrillation ablation (n=2). Transcatheter pulmonary angioplasty and stenting was evaluated. Transcatheter pulmonary angioplasty and stenting effectively restored venous flow in two young male patients with severe multivessel pulmonary vein stenosis following atrial fibrillation ablation.
