surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation
atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent permanent arrhythmia. it may be associated with other cardiac pathologies which need surgical treatment. various types of surgery including the traditional cut-sew operations and operations using different energy sources are currently in use. in comparison with medical treatment, surgery is safe, effective, and has reliable results.
متن کاملSurgical approaches for atrial fibrillation.
For cardiac surgery patients presenting with atrial fibrillation (AF), surgeons offer an operation that corrects the structural heart disease and the AF. With this approach, it is estimated that surgeons will perform more than 10,000 ablation procedures in 2007. Surgeons are developing minimally invasive techniques for stand-alone, epicardial ablation of AF. This article (1) reviews the rationa...
متن کاملSurgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is now commonly treated at the time of valvular heart surgery or coronary artery bypass grafting. Surgical ablation of AF, which is predicated upon the Maze procedure, includes creation of lines of conduction block and excision of the left atrial appendage. A full bi-atrial lesion set is associated with success in 80% to 95% of patients and virtually eliminates the risk...
متن کاملSurgical Management of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in adults and a major burden of morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular patients (1). The major sequelae are cardiovascular and include heart failure and thromboembolic events, primarily stroke. The prevalence of AF is 0.4-1% in the overall population which rises with age to approximately 15% in those patients 70 years and older (2). The ...
متن کاملSurgical ablation of atrial fibrillation
Surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently performed in many major hospitals throughout the world. This paper reviews the development of surgical procedures for AF ablation. It is hoped that the paper can provide a foundation for those involved with ablation of AF to improve patient care. AF is triggered by a rapidly firing focus and could be treated with a localized ablation pr...
