Abstract

An elderly man with pulmonary vein varix and atrial fibrillation is described. The diagnosis of pulmonary varix, a localized dilatation of pulmonary vein, was made by transesophageal echocardiography. The patient had chronic atrial fibrillation, and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated thrombus in the pulmonary varix. In patients with atrial fibrillation, pulmonary varix may be an unusual site for thrombus formation.

摘要

本文描述了一名患有肺静脉静脉曲张和心房颤动的老年男性。通过经食管超声心动图诊断为肺静脉曲张，即肺静脉的局限性扩张。该患者患有慢性心房颤动，经食管超声心动图显示肺静脉曲张内有血栓形成。在心房颤动患者中，肺静脉曲张可能是血栓形成的一个不寻常部位。
