A56 CRITICAL CARE CASE REPORTS: CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE I: Fibrotic Lung disease due To Pulmonary Vein Stenosis Following Catheter Ablation For Atrial Fibrillation

PV stenosis requires a high index of suspicion in patients presenting with worsening dyspnea, hypoxemia, and a prior history of a cardiac catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. Chronic occult alveolar hemorrhage leading to fibrotic lung disease can represent permanent damage that may not improve following PV stenting. [...]timely diagnosis and stenting is critical in preserving long-term cardiopulmonary function.
