Both were found to have severe stenosis of all 4 pulmonary veins near the junction with the left atrium. Balloon dilation of the stenotic pulmonary veins was performed in these patients, with improvement in dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2014The complication of pulmonary vein stenosis is potentially life-threatening, and the application of radiofrequency current within the pulmonary veins with standard catheter technology should be avoided. This complication can be treated with balloon dilation, although the long-term course is unknown.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.cir.98.17.1769","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,11]],"date-time":"2012-06-11T20:41:02Z","timestamp":1339447262000},"page":"1769-1775","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":337,"title":["Pulmonary Vein Stenosis After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Ivan M.","family":"Robbins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward V.","family":"Colvin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas P.","family":"Doyle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.
