Rheumatic 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...
متن کاملCox-Maze III procedure with valvular surgery in an autopneumonectomized patient
Destructive pulmonary inflammation can leave patients with only a single functional lung, resulting in anatomical and physiological changes that may interfere with subsequent cardiac surgeries. Such patients are vulnerable to perioperative cardiopulmonary complications. Herein, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of an autopneumonectomized patient who successfully underwent a modified C...
متن کاملConcomitant radiofrequency Maze III – procedure and surgical ASD closure in adults
Methods 84 adult patients (mean age 40,8 ± 7,2 years) with ASD and different forms of AF were operated between 20052012 with next forms of AF: paroxysmal – 48, persistent – 26, long persistent – 10 patients. We performed radiofrequency “maze III” procedure and then ASD closure in CPB. Mean CPB-time was 64±18 min. Lines of ablation were performed point-by-point applications with exposition of 15...
متن کاملFading magic of maze procedure Pankaj
I read with interest a recent article by Reston and Shuhaiber [1] where they have analysed the reported clinical outcome of maze-related surgical procedures for intractable atrial fibrillation (AF). I congratulate them for this excellent meta-analysis [1]. I would like to add a few comments. Maze procedure is an excellent example of a technique which was grabbed by an impatient scientific commu...
متن کاملThe Cox maze IV procedure: predictors of late recurrence.
OBJECTIVES The Cox maze III procedure achieved high cure rates and became the surgical gold standard for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Because of its invasiveness, a more simplified ablation-assisted procedure, the Cox maze IV procedure, has been performed at our institution since January 2002. The study examined multiple preoperative and perioperative variables to determine predictors ...
