272 6—LEFT ATRIAL INTERVENTIONS
https://t.me/medicina_free
If crossing the stenosis with a multipurpose catheter is not possible, a hydrophilic 4F Glidehead catheter can be used to cross the stenosis and act as a placeholder to switch the crossing wire for one with more support. The choice of working wire will depend on the equipment required to dilate the stenosis. The goal of the intervention will be to deliver and successfully expand a 10-mm bare-metal biliary or peripheral stent to the affected PV, which will likely require an exchange-length stiff Amplatz wire.
The most common stent delivered in our series was the 10 mm 3 19 mm Genesis bare-
metal stent used in an off-label fashion. This should be the goal size, as smaller stents lead to higher residual gradients and less improvement with more restenosis. Leading up to this, one might need to use a series of balloon dilations with smaller coronary balloons and subsequently peripheral balloons to adequately prepare the lesion. Ideally a 1:1 balloon preparation before stent implantation would be pursued; however, this must be balanced with the risk for vein perforation. Another important piece of information to balloon-expand these lesions is that they often initiate the intimal proliferation and fibrosis seen with in-stent restenosis. Procedur­ally, this means there is a high likelihood of the balloon slipping out of the stenosis when expanding and “watermelon seeding” either farther into the PV or back out into the LA (and potentially losing wire position). To avoid this, careful attention to balloon positioning, longer balloons, and slow inflations will aid in successfully dilating these difficult lesions. Other tech­niques, such as cutting balloons, can be attempted but with great caution, as there is a risk for perforation with these devices, and their maximal diameter (usually not greater than 4 mm) often precludes their use in these procedures.
Once the severity of stenosis is confirmed, a balloon is positioned and dilated across the point
of maximal stenosis, and the lesion is adequately prepared, one must decide on the final inter­vention to maintain vessel patency for the longest period. Unfortunately, most PVS interven­tions require a bare-metal stent (BMS), as the lesions tend to be too large to accommodate a 4-mm coronary drug eluting stent (DES). Despite newer DESs that can dilate to over 5 mm, this will likely not be able to adequately address this size discrepancy. As mentioned, peripheral or BMS used in an off-label fashion is the most commonly used device in our series. Our series demonstrates a 54% relative risk reduction in PV restenosis over 4 years when stents are used for the final result compared with balloon dilation alone see Fig. 23.3). Although these are retrospective, single-center data with the usual confounders, if the vessel will accommodate a stent, this should be used to improve vessel patency over the long term. As some PV anatomy can vary, these stents have also been used with success as a two-stent strategy, deploying simultaneous kissing stents should the lesion affect two PVs at the antrum leading into both vessels.

Procedural Steps
Figs. 23.4 to 23.10 demonstrate the steps necessary for this procedure.
After transvenous access for insertion of ICE and for transseptal puncture, the following steps
are performed sequentially.
Procedural Outcomes
Our series does show anecdotal success with DES should the vessel be small and only allowing a 4-mm stent. Similarly, we have an instance of using a drug eluting balloon (DEB) to successfully treat one specific lesion. Certainly, PVS could be niche targets for DEB should your institution have access and knowledge to use such devices. However, with current DEB devices approved for peripheral applications, the device length of several centimeters may mean that the proximal end will be positioned in the RA back through the septum.

Fig. 23.4 Transseptal puncture and establishing left atrial access. For transseptal access, typically either an
8F transseptal sheath or an Agilis sheath is used to cross to the left atrium (LA), and the wire position is established in the LA with an Amplatz stiff or Inoue wire (pictured) placed through the sheath that was used to initially cross the septum.
Fig. 23.5 A steerable sheath (e.g., Agilis or Dexterity sheath) is introduced into the left atrium (LA) for more precise movement and positioning. A 6F multipurpose
catheter is used to intubate the affected pulmonary vein.
Fig. 23.6 Wiring the stenotic pulmonary vein. The stenotic pulmonary vein was crossed using a 0.0350 guidewire or a 0.0140 coronary wire, depending on the degree and character of the stenosis.

Fig. 23.7 Simultaneous pressure measurements. If possible, advance the multipurpose catheter into the PV for simultaneous PV/LA pressure measurements. LA pressure can either be obtained with a second catheter (4F multipurpose) in the LA or through the sidearm of the steerable catheter.
Fig. 23.8 Exchange for a stiff wire to enable delivery of balloons/stents. If the multipurpose catheter can be
passed across the stenosis, then the crossing wire can be exchanged for a stiff Amplatz wire, which can then be used to deliver over-the-wire peripheral balloons and stents.

Fig. 23.10 Stent delivery. If the vein is of sufficient caliber, we aim to deliver a 1 3 19 mm Genesis bare-metal stent into the pulmonary vein over the Amplatz super-stiff wire.
Once the intervention is completed, vessel patency with angiography in multiple planes, Dop­pler velocities obtained by TEE or ICE, and obliteration or marked reduction of the vein–LA pressure gradient will confirm successful intervention. One should carefully evaluate stent expan­sion and apposition so as to reduce the risk of stent embolization and/or fracture. As part of this process, the LA end of the stent should be flared. Videos 23.1 and 23.2 show pre- and post-PVS results angiographically.
Care should be taken to carefully monitor the patient for oxygen desaturation, hemoptysis, pul­monary edema, air/thrombus embolization, and pericardial effusion throughout the procedure and potentially in a closely monitored setting afterward, as these are the most common complications noted (Table 23.2).
POSTPROCEDURE CARE
Patients continue on clopidogrel 75 mg/day for up to 1 year after stent placement and, if clinically indicated, restart Coumadin with bridging from a heparin drip or subcutaneous LMWH until the INR is between 2 and 3. Before discharge, patients can be assessed with repeat CT and V/Q scans.

Acute success is typically defined as less than 30% residual PV stenosis with improvement in flow (both angiographically and on CT) with a concomitant reduction in echocardiographic vein Doppler velocities and improvement in V/Q mismatch in the affected lung segment. Patients should return at 3 and 6 months for repeat assessment, including serial CT and V/Q scanning. Subsequent evaluations with repeat imaging can be guided by clinical symptoms.
Conclusions
PVS is an underrecognized syndrome that can result in significant and debilitating symptoms. Invasive management with balloon angioplasty or stenting is highly effective in the acute set­ting; however, the risk of recurrence is high. Historically, there have been little data to guide the interventionalist as to the best method of managing PVS, and an even less nuanced set of instructions to guide the specific intervention. By highlighting our extensive experience over the past few decades with PVS, the chapter fills an important gap in the structural literature by presenting current techniques based on a prospective examination of the largest cohort of patients treated invasively for severe PVS. Our findings are consistent with what has previ­ously been reported and confirm that stenting is significantly superior to balloon angioplasty for reducing the risk of recurrent PVS after an initial intervention. Despite the encouraging results of our experience, there is significant room for improvement to address what remains a high incidence of restenosis. There is significant potential for improvement in both ablative techniques to minimize PVS. New technologies, including drug-coated balloons, may offer further improvement in the risk of recurrent PVS.

Abstract: The development of pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) after attempted ablation for atrial fibrillation represents a major complication. Although advances in ablation techniques have de­creased the incidence of postablation PVS, treatment remains a significant challenge. Severe PVS is highly symptomatic and warrants invasive management. Although treatment strategies, including dilation with or without adjunctive stenting, have been described, the long-term effect on outcomes appears to demonstrate a more favorable result with stenting, particularly when stents .10 mm in diameter can be deployed. This chapter outlines preliminary diagnostic tools, step-by-step proce­dural instructions, and postprocedure care/surveillance for the practicing interventionalist who routinely sees PVS in practice.

Tricuspid Valve-in-Valve/Valve­in-Ring Therapy

Background
Transcatheter valve replacement is becoming an increasingly favored option to treat a failing tricuspid bioprosthetic valve (BPV). As clinical experience grows and valve technology expands, the option of implanting a new tricuspid valve in the cardiac catheterization laboratory is a viable alternative to a conventional surgical valve replacement therapy, which remains relatively high risk. Patients may have undergone tricuspid valve replacement for underlying congenital heart disease (such as Ebstein anomaly or tricuspid valve dysplasia) or to treat functional tricuspid regurgitation when valve repair is not possible. BPVs are utilized most commonly for surgical tricuspid valve replacement. Often these patients have underlying right ventricular dysfunction and other issues that may complicate reoperation or increase surgical risk. Therefore catheter-based tricuspid valve-in-valve (TVIV) therapy is an attractive option, especially in patients who have undergone repeated median sternot­omy and elderly patients who are likely to have significant comorbidities.
In addition, patients who have undergone tricuspid valve repair utilizing annuloplasty ring may be offered transcatheter valve replacement therapy, but are less optimal candidates due to the elliptical nature of annuloplasty ring anatomy, with potential for significant residual “paravalvular” leak after valve-in-ring deployment.
Indications
n
Symptomatic severe tricuspid bioprosthesis stenosis or regurgitation.
n
BPV thrombosis should first be treated with a trial of anticoagulation therapy and/or
thrombolytic therapy before undergoing valve-in-valve (VIV).
Contraindications
Active endocarditis is considered a contraindication to TVIV. Device leads for defibrillators and pacemakers are not a contraindication for the procedure. Leads that are external to the sewing ring are ideal; however, transvalvular device leads can also be “trapped” between the transcatheter valve and surgical valve without affecting lead function in limited case series, although it is pref­erable to have an alternative lead available for “backup pacing” in patients who are pacemaker dependent.
