Chest X-ray showed no change. Radiologist report recommends CT of chest w/contrast to determine if it is atelectasis vs scarring.

Has it been determined what caused the phrenic nerve stunning? From what I've read, this is not very common in the hands of an experienced doctor like Dr. Natale.

Also regarding the atelectatsis and 'possible' phrenic nerve paresis the atelectasis could also be from general anesthesia as well

Anti-Fib
how does one get a collapsed lung 3 weeks out from an Ablation?
Quote
Two days after the ablation I had a day of chills and have had night sweats every night since (today is post-op day 12). I have not had any fever. I developed some upper respiratory congestion and had a chest X-ray (post-op day 11) that showed atelectasis and an elevated right diaphragm suggesting phrenic nerve palsy.

Sometimes, very tall, thin people are prone to a spontaneous pneumothorax. In this condition, the lung collapses after minimal or no trauma. Other risk factors are cigarette smoking and recreational drug use or abuse.
