Surgical Maze Procedures for Atrial Arrhythmias in Univentricular Hearts, from Maze History to Conversion–Fontan
In general, symptoms of atrial fibrillation are an indication for intervention, the most important being the elevated risk for thrombo-embolism. While pharmaco-medical treatment for atrial fibrillation is aimed at either rate or rhythm control (van Gelder et al., 2002), invasive treatment for atrial fibrillation is aimed at rhythm control. An invasive approach may consist of percutaneous cathet...
متن کاملAtrial Arrhythmias After Lung Transplantation
Background—Atrial arrhythmias (AAs) including atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial tachycardia (AT) are often observed after cardiothoracic surgery. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence and mechanism of AAs after lung transplantation. Methods and Results—All patients (n 127) after bilateral sequential lung transplantation followed at our institution over 20 years were included. All patients re...

متن کاملAtrial arrhythmias after cardiac surgery: Sisyphus revisited?
The treatment of atrial arrhythmias after cardiac surgery has been an area of keen research interest over the last several years (1). Part of the motivation to find effective therapy is monetary. When atrial fibrillation or flutter (AFF) occurs postoperatively, patients remain in the hospital longer, and that costs money (2). When one considers the fact that cardiac surgery is the most common m...
متن کاملAdvanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias
Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest. Novel image integration and ablation tools have made the catheter ablation in this population both feasible and successful. We review a struc...
