The Surgical Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation: Ablation Technology and Surgical Approaches
The Cox maze procedure developed originally in 1987 by Dr James Cox has evolved from a "cut and sew" surgical procedure, where the maze was applied using multiple surgical cuts, to an extensive use of surgical ablation technology where ablation lesions are placed with alternative energy sources (radiofrequency, cryothermy, microwave, and high-frequency ultrasound). Furthermore, the procedure ha...
متن کاملsurgical treatment of atrial fibrillation
atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent permanent arrhythmia. it may be associated with other cardiac pathologies which need surgical treatment. various types of surgery including the traditional cut-sew operations and operations using different energy sources are currently in use. in comparison with medical treatment, surgery is safe, effective, and has reliable results.
متن کاملsurgical radiofrequency maze iii ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation during open heart surgery
background: atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia in patients with rheumatic mitral and other valve diseases who are candidates for valve repair surgeries. conversion of rhythm to sinus has positive effects on quality of life and lower use of medications. the aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the radiofrequency ablation maze iii procedure in the treatment of a...
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...

Case presentation, patient 1: Permanent atrial fibrillation with mitral incompetence requiring a mechanical prosthesis. A 57-year-old man underwent mitral valve repair for myxomatous mitral valve disease 10 years ago. During the past 3 years, he has been in permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) and has been taking warfarin for anticoagulation. He has had moderate residual mitral valve incompetence...
