Surgical Outcomes of Cox-maze IV Procedure Using Bipolar Irrigated Radiofrequency Ablation and Cryothermy in Valvular Heart Disease
BACKGROUND We evaluated the efficacy of Cox-maze IV procedure using bipolar irrigated radiofrequency ablation and cryothermy in chronic atrial fibrillation associated with valvular heart disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS From November 2005 to June 2009, ninety four patients have undergone valvular heart surgery with Cox-maze IV procedure. Preoperative duration of atrial fibrillation was 7.6±6.5 y...
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 کاملMinimally invasive Cox-maze procedure, beating-heart epicardial ablation, hybrid procedure and catheter ablation: a call for comparative evidence.
We read with great interest the paper by Je et al. [1] regarding minimally invasive surgical treatment for atrial fibrillation. This was a comprehensive systematic review pooling available data on the Cox-maze procedure, beating-heart epicardial ablation and hybrid procedure to compare their safety and efficacy. Based on 37 studies included in this review, Je et al. demonstrated that at 12-mont...
متن کاملPerformance of the Cox Maze procedure-a large surgical ablation center's experience.
Our cardiac surgical program performs 1,200 cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures annually with approximately 100120 [50% of patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF)] of these patients undergoing an AF surgical ablation (SA) procedure concomitant to their cardiac surgical operation. Furthermore, we also perform stand-alone surgical ablation for AF as an isolated procedure for patien...
متن کاملRheumatic valvular heart surgery and Maze III procedure.
ObjectivesAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Drug treatment of AF usually leads to an unsatisfactory rate of recurrence. The Cox-maze III procedure for atrial fibrillation has been effective in restoring sinus rhythm in patients with mitral valve disease. MethodsFrom September 2000 to September 2002, 10 consecutive patients with rheumatic mitral valve dise...
