Outcomes and Management of Patients With Severe Pulmonary Vein Stenosis From Prior Atrial Fibrillation Ablation [Original Articles]

Conclusions:
The incidence of severe PV stenosis is low but remains associated with significant morbidity. In patients with recurrent arrhythmia, conduction recovery at the stenosed or stented veins is common. Care must be taken to ablate antrally to avoid stenosis progression. In patients with prior PV stents, we suggest to avoid using Lasso.
