First Case

Pulmonary vein stenosis is a potential complication following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). We report the case of a patient with refractory ascites late after multiple catheter ablation procedures for AF. This is the first case report of portal hypertensive ascites due to acquired multiple pulmonary vein stenoses resulting in pulmonary hypertension (PH) and cardiac cirrhosis late after AF ablation. Despite extensive surgical reconstruction of the affected pulmonary veins, the patient has PH and right heart failure with persistent ascites and lower extremity edema.

First Time

Longstanding-persistent atrial fibrillation is one of the most challenging arrhythmias to treat. While radiofrequency catheter ablation is highly effective in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, pulmonary vein antral isolation (including posterior wall isolation) alone is not enough for nonparoxysmal atrial fibrillation, other targets should be sought in this population. In this case report, we will describe our approach in a typical patient presenting for a first-time ablation procedure for longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation.
