Imaging approaches for pulmonary vein isolation in patients after lobectomy or pneumonectomy: a case series.
Ann-Kathrin RahmDominik K LinzUffe Jakob Ortved GangPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2023)
Pulmonary vein isolation in patients with previous pulmonary resection was feasible by both radiofrequency and cryocatheter ablation despite the anatomical alterations caused by the surgery. Pre- and peri-procedural imaging by cardiac computed tomography and transoesophageal echocardiography contributed to an increased understanding of the complex anatomical substrate.
