Stand-alone totally thoracoscopic left atrial appendage exclusion using a novel clipping system in patients with high risk of stroke – initial experience and literature review
INTRODUCTION Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically relevant arrhythmia and it is strongly associated with stroke. Left atrial appendage (LAA) is considered to be the most often source of thrombotic material. In recent decades a number surgical, percutaneous and hybrid approaches for LAA occlusion have been described revealing very different level of success and showing a variet...
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 کاملA Totally Thoracoscopic Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
We report the case of a 72-year-old female with persistent atrial fibrillation who underwent a totally thoracoscopic ablation. A successful normal sinus conversion was achieved.
متن کاملLeft Atrial Appendage Exclusion for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation
The public health burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and associated thromboembolic stroke continues to grow at alarming rates. AF leads to a fivefold increase in the risk of stroke. Therefore, stroke prevention remains the most critical aspect of AF management. Current standard of care focuses on oral systemic anticoagulation, most commonly with warfarin and now with newer agents such as dabiga...
متن کاملA novel "box lesion" minimally invasive totally thoracoscopic surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation.
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive surgical ablation is an emerging alternative method to catheter ablation and the full surgical maze procedure for nonpharmacologic treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). We present a totally thoracoscopic "box lesion" radiofrequency ablation procedure in patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF. MATERIALS AND METHODS From June 2011 to October 2012, 14 patients...
