Pulmonary vein stenosis is a well-known complication after radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Although surgical repair is indicated for younger patients and patients with multiple stenoses, the appropriate procedure for acquired pulmonary vein stenosis has not been established. In this study, we report the successful outcome of our modified sutureless technique using a left atrial appendage flap for left-sided pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency catheter ablation.
肺静脉狭窄是房颤射频导管消融术后一种众所周知的并发症。虽然对于年轻患者和存在多处狭窄的患者建议进行手术修复，但获得性肺静脉狭窄的合适手术方法尚未确立。在本研究中，我们报告了使用左心耳瓣片的改良无缝合技术治疗射频导管消融术后左侧肺静脉狭窄取得成功的结果。
