Long-term results and reliability of cryothermic ablation based maze procedure for atrial fibrillation concomitant with mitral valve surgery.
OBJECTIVE Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the common arrhythmia associated with valvular heart disease, and surgical ablation to treat AF is reported to contribute to eliminate mortality and morbidity. We report our clinical results of cryomaze procedure obtained in over 10-years' experience. METHOD Since 1998 when we introduced cryoablation to reduce cut-and-sew line, 268 patients (145 males and...
متن کاملResults of a minimally invasive surgical pulmonary vein isolation and ganglionic plexi ablation for atrial fibrillation: single-center experience with 12-month follow-up.
BACKGROUND The Cox Maze procedure for treatment of medically refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) is limited by its complexity and requirement for cardiopulmonary bypass. Long-term follow-up and success using criteria established by the Heart Rhythm Society/European Heart Rhythm Association/European Cardiac Arrhythmia Society consensus statement have not been reported for surgical AF ablation. W...
متن کاملThe impact of mitral valve surgery combined with maze procedure.
OBJECTIVE Recent studies indicated that successful maze procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF) adjunct to mitral valve surgery provided a lower incidence of stroke and recurrence of AF. The purpose of this study is to review the 13-year experience of these combined procedures and to identify the risk factors and late outcomes of successful maze procedures compared to failed maze procedures. M...
متن کاملPulmonary radiofrequency ablation (Part 2): Procedure and follow-up.
Pulmonary radiofrequency ablation requires more than just interventional radiology skills. Patients must be selected carefully, and the acts that need to be done before, during, and after the procedure must be coordinated. To guarantee patient safety, radiologists need to know the variants of the technique, the precautions that must be taken, the complications that can occur, and the risks invo...
متن کاملLong-Term Results of a Minimally Invasive Surgical Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Ganglionic Plexi Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND Ganglionated plexi (GP) ablation has been become an adjunct to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). This study describes the long-term results of minimally invasive surgical PVI, ablation of GPs, and exclusion of the left atrial appendage for atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS Long-term follow-up of 55 months was performed in 139 consecutive patients (age 58.3±20.8 years) with symptomati...
