摘要：

Pulmonary vein stenosis is one of the: frequent complications after radio-frequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. MRI plays an important role in depicting the pathoanatomic structure of the pulmonary veins, and measuring the blood flow velocity in the pulmonary veins before and after therapy, and is superior to transesophageal echocardiography for this purpose.
