In 2003, pulmonary venous flow (PVF) evaluation by Doppler echocardiography is being
used daily in clinical practice. Twelve years ago, we reviewed the potential uses of PVF in …

Percutaneous ablation is a well-established technique for treating cardiac arrhythmia by
removing or isolating tissue at the site of the abnormal impulse formation. Various forms of …

Background—This study sought to define the technique and results of magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) of pulmonary vein (PV) anatomy before and after catheter ablation of atrial …

Background—Although segmental or circumferential ablation is effective in eliminating
pulmonary vein (PV)–mediated atrial fibrillation (AF), this procedure may be complicated by …

Background: Pulmonary vein isolation is a new, effective curative procedure for selected
patients with atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary vein stenosis is a potential complication and may …

This study summarizes our results in diagnosing and treating pulmonary vein stenosis
complicating ablation for atrial fibrillation in 6 of 92 patients. Patients with significant …

Pulmonary Vein Anatomy. Introduction: The anatomic arrangement of pulmonary veins (PVs)
is variable. No prior studies have quantitatively analyzed the effects of segmental ostial …

Introduction: There are currently no studies systematically evaluating pulmonary vein (PV)
stenosis following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) using the anatomic PV ablation …

Introduction: The etiology of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrences after pulmonary vein (PV)
isolation is not well described. The aim of this study was to examine the reason for recurrent …
