Pulmonary vein stenosis and occlusion are rare complications of ablation. Severe pulmonary vein stenosis and occlusion can cause hemoptysis; however, only a few cases of massive hemoptysis caused by pulmonary vein occlusion have been reported to date. We here report a patient with massive hemoptysis caused by complete pulmonary vein occlusion after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation who was successfully treated by thoracoscopic lobectomy %U http://jtd.amegroups.com/article/view/20694/html
