Usefulness of cutting balloon angioplasty for pulmonary vein in-stent stenosis

Amanda L. Cook, Lourdes R. Prieto, Jeffrey W. Delaney, John F. Rhodes Duke University Medical Center.United States American Journal of CardiologyAm J Cardiol 2006; 98: 407-410DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2006.02.049 AbstractAfter radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation, patients may develop pulmonary vein stenoses requiring stent angioplasty. The treatment options for when such patients develop in-stent stenoses are poorly defined. The
