Maze surgery normalizes left ventricular function in patients with persistent lone atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the mid-term clinical and functional outcomes of maze surgery in symptomatic refractory lone atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. METHODS Between March 2008 and January 2013, 39 highly symptomatic patients [mean age 51 ± 10 (mean ± standard deviation); 95% CI, European Heart Rhythm Association class III-IV] underwent maze surgery for lone AF. Biat...
متن کاملResults of maze surgery for lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND If drug refractoriness to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) occurs, arrhythmia surgery that involves channelling and the exclusion of specific atrial areas can abolish atrial fibrillation. The purpose of this study was to establish the effectiveness and safety of maze III surgery to abolish PAF. METHODS AND RESULTS Surgery was performed in 41 selected patients who had long-stand...
متن کاملradiofrequency atrial fibrillation ablation technique in patients with mitral valve surgery and left atrial reduction procedures
background: about half of all patients who undergo mitral valve surgery suffer from atrial fibrillation (af). cox described the surgical cut-and-sew maze procedure, which is an effective surgical method but has some complications. this study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of a substitution method of radiofrequency ablation (rfa) for patients undergoing mitral valve surgery with af. metho...
متن کاملAbnormal atrial activation in young patients with lone atrial fibrillation.
AIMS Patients with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) have previously been shown to have altered atrial conduction, as seen non-invasively using signal-averaged P-wave analysis. However, little is known about the P-wave morphology in patients in the early phases of AF with structurally normal hearts. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-six patients with lone AF were included before the age of 40 ye...
متن کاملExtra Atrial Disease in Patients with "Lone" Atrial Fibrillation.
AIMS Lone atrial fibrillation (LAF) is considered by some to be a primary atrial electrophysiologic disorder. However, we have frequently observed evidence of "extraatrial" diseases - atherosclerosis and associated metabolic disorders - in our LAF patients. We sought to characterize and quantify extraatrial disease burden in LAF patients, and to correlate this burden with features of the arrhyt...
