FERRERO GUADAGNOLI, Adolfo et al. Tratamiento de estenosis sintomática de venas pulmonares secundaria a ablación por radiofrecuencia. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2014, vol.74, n.4, pp.303-306. ISSN 0025-7680.

Isolation of the pulmonary veins by applying radiofrequency is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation. One of the potential complications with higher clinical compromise utilizing this invasive technique is the occurrence of stenosis of one or more pulmonary veins. This complication can be treated by angioplasty with or without stent implantation, with an adequate clinical improvement, but with a high rate of restenosis.

Palabras clave : Atrial fibrillation; Pulmonary vein stenosis; Stent implantation.
