Specific linear left atrial lesions in atrial fibrillation: intraoperative radiofrequency ablation using minimally invasive surgical techniques.
OBJECTIVES A specific left atrial (LA) linear lesion concept for treatment of paroxysmal and permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) was tested using intraoperative ablation with minimally invasive surgical techniques. BACKGROUND Curative treatment for patients with chronic AF is among the main challenges of interventional electrophysiology. METHODS Seventy patients (mean age 53 +/- 10 years) wi...
متن کاملAcute effects of left atrial radiofrequency ablation on atrial fibrillation.
INTRODUCTION Acutely, when left atrial ablation is performed during atrial fibrillation (AF), the AF may persist and require cardioversion, or it may convert to sinus rhythm or to atrial tachycardia/flutter. The prevalence of these acute outcomes has not been described. METHODS AND RESULTS Left atrial ablation, usually including encirclement of the pulmonary veins, was performed during AF in ...
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 کاملThoracoscopic stand-alone left atrial appendectomy for thromboembolism prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate thoracoscopic stand-alone left atrial appendectomy for thromboembolism prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). BACKGROUND Closing the left atrial appendage (LAA) is an efficacious alternative to oral anticoagulation as prevention against AF-induced thromboembolism, provided that the procedure is safe and complete. METHODS Thirty patients ...
متن کاملReal-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography during left atrial radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Left atrial radiofrequency catheter ablation has been recognized as an important treatment option for drugrefractory symptomatic atrial fibrillation.1 Recent consensus on technique favors catheter ablation directed to the left atrium near the pulmonary vein (PV) ostium to achieve PV isolation.2 However, ablation in the region of the ligament of Marshall (LOM) to achieve electrical isolation of ...
