Radiofrequency ablation is the “gold standard” in atrial fibrillation treatment. The frequency of complications is about 3.5–3.9 %. The symptomatic pulmonary vein stenosis is one of the most severe complications. In this report we present a clinical case of stenosis of all four pulmonary veins after redo catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in 61year-old patient, and discussion of possible causes, specific features of diagnosis, and possible approaches to treatment of this complication.
