Pulmonary vein (PV) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective technique for a selected group of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs (Alfudhili et al., 2017). However, pulmonary vein occlusion is a potentially rare, sometimes severe, complication which may present clinically as nonspecific respiratory symptoms, signifying pulmonary vein stenosis, that are often underrecognized or misdiagnosed, leading to progression of the low-grade stenosis to complete occlusion if not treated with timely intervention (Alfudhili et al., 2017). <jats:italic>Case Presentation<\/jats:italic>. We report the first case of haemoptysis, three months postradiofrequency ablation (i.e., late complication) secondary to pulmonary vein occlusion that was diagnosed by computed tomography angiogram (CTA), which showed occlusion of 2 out of 4 native pulmonary veins. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. The cause of haemoptysis in this patient was pulmonary vein occlusion, secondary to radiofrequency ablation, as demonstrated in the CTA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/2357846","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,27]],"date-time":"2020-07-27T23:32:06Z","timestamp":1595892726000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Pulmonary Vein Occlusion and Lung Infarction after Radiofrequency Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7208-961X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Julyan","family":"Al Fori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chest Medicine, The Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maryam","family":"Al Belushi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chest Medicine, The Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Al Shuraiqi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chest Medicine, The Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ghalia","family":"Al Mohanny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, The Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rashid","family":"Al Umairi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, The Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nasser","family":"Al Busaidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chest Medicine, The Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/bjrcr.20160091"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/s0066-782x2010000100025"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/4979182"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5090\/kjtcs.2018.51.4.290"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000001346"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2008.06.060"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2006.08.038"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rmcr.2017.11.008"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12890-015-0121-0"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13019-016-0400-8"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Pulmonology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2020\/2357846.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2020\/2357846.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2020\/2357846.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,27]],"date-time":"2020-07-27T23:32:07Z","timestamp":1595892727000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2020\/2357846\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,27]]},"references-count":10,"alternative-id":["2357846","2357846"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2020\/2357846","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6846","2090-6854"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-6846"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-6854"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,27]]}}}
