Brief description/objective
The use of pulmonary vein (PV) radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment may be complicated by PV stenosis or occlusion. A common curative treatment for symptomatic patients is a transcatheter intervention, including percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty and stent implantation. Stent implantation itself, however, can be complicated by in-stent stenosis.
