Modern methods of diagnostics and visualization allow timely identifying and sometimes even preventing the development of complications. Our clinical case demonstrates the possibilities and diagnostic algorithm of such serious complication of catheter ablation as pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis. Materials and methods. 61-year old patient after repeated catheter ablations is presented. Results. The use of echocardiography and MSCT allowed determining the stage and characteristics of PVs stenosis. Catheter ablation is one of the most common and effective methods in atrial fibrillation treatment. However, significant increase in number of operations and specialists who perform catheter ablation, leads to appearance of specific complications. Modern methods of visualization and diagnostics allow to timely recognize and sometimes even prevent the development of complications. Conclusion. An echocardiography and MSCT are the main instruments in diagnostics of PVs stenosis.
