Rhythm course over 5 years following surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVES Reporting methods for surgical ablation (SA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) were standardized by the Heart Rhythm Society Guidelines, stating that results should be reported only for the first 2 years following SA. The purpose of this study was to assess the outcome of SA over 5 years and determine predictors for success over that period. METHODS Data were collected prospectively for ...
متن کاملSurgical ablation of atrial fibrillation
Surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently performed in many major hospitals throughout the world. This paper reviews the development of surgical procedures for AF ablation. It is hoped that the paper can provide a foundation for those involved with ablation of AF to improve patient care. AF is triggered by a rapidly firing focus and could be treated with a localized ablation pr...
متن کاملAtrial Tachycardias Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
One of the most important proarrhythmic complications after left atrial (LA) ablation is regular atrial tachycardia (AT) or flutter. Those tachycardias that occur after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation can cause even more severe symptoms than those from the original arrhythmia prior to the index ablation procedure since they are often incessant and associated with rapid ventricular response. D...

متن کاملSurgical and hybrid atrial fibrillation ablation procedures.
AIMS The purpose of this EP Wire is to survey clinical practice in this rapidly evolving field as the variety of surgical techniques and the heterogeneity of treated patients make the comparison of results and outcomes challenging. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-four European centres, all members of the EHRA EP research network, responded to this survey and completed the questions. Of the partici...
