A Unique Compensatory Mechanism for Total Pulmonary Vein Occlusion Post Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation Visualized by Multimodality Imaging

Figure 3

Coronal oblique view (a), axial view (b), and volume-rendered 3D reconstruction (c) from an arterial phase CT angiogram demonstrate absence or stump of the left superior pulmonary vein (white arrows) and left upper lobe oligemia ((c), circled) and chronic interstitial edema ((b), circled). Coronal oblique vascular reconstruction from a delayed venous phase CT angiogram (d) demonstrates small collateral draining veins (yellow arrows). LULL = left upper lung lobe.
