Surgical treatment of permanent atrial fibrillation during cardiac surgery using monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency ablation
OBJECTIVE Permanent atrial fibrillation (pAF) is a serious problem in cardiac surgery: An incidence of 3.5% among all patients scheduled for open heart surgery, 9.8% in heart valve cases and 45.6% among patients with severe rheumatic mitral valve (MV) disease was observed in our institution. Our experience with radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedures to treat pAF in these cases is reported. M...
متن کاملThree years experience with monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency ablation surgery in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE In our population permanent atrial fibrillation (pAF) is a frequent concomitant problem in patients undergoing open heart surgery. A 3-year experience with a treatment strategy using mono- and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedures in a heterogeneous group of patients is reported. METHODS In a prospective analysis the incidence of pAF among all patients undergoing open hear...
متن کاملBipolar radiofrequency ablation of the kidney: comparison with monopolar radiofrequency ablation.
PURPOSE We report initial ex vivo and in vivo studies using bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation of porcine kidneys. An internal ground electrode is positioned in the kidney opposite the RF electrode, resulting in ablation of all the intervening renal tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ex vivo preparations of 10 porcine kidneys were perfused continuously with Ringer's solution and treated with eit...
متن کاملPoint: Minimally invasive bipolar radiofrequency ablation of lone atrial fibrillation: early multicenter results.
OBJECTIVE The treatment of lone atrial fibrillation can be a minimally invasive procedure using bipolar radiofrequency ablation technologies. Our objectives were to report on the safety and early efficacy of this novel therapeutic modality. METHODS At 3 North American institutions between February 2005 and August 2007, 100 patients underwent minimally invasive bilateral pulmonary vein isolati...
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...
