Arrhythmogenic superior vena cava manifesting after a right‐sided pneumonectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection

No case of AF ablation after right‐sided pneumonectomy has been reported, presumably because the pneumonectomy renders the ablation procedure more difficult than lobectomy because of the marked mediastinal displacement. In the case of catheter ablation of AF after right‐sided pneumonectomy, it is ex...

Sumario:No case of AF ablation after right‐sided pneumonectomy has been reported, presumably because the pneumonectomy renders the ablation procedure more difficult than lobectomy because of the marked mediastinal displacement. In the case of catheter ablation of AF after right‐sided pneumonectomy, it is extremely important to insert a mapping catheter not only into the PV but also into the SVC to accurately diagnose the site of abnormal electrical activity.[Image: see text]
