surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Surgical 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 Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: A Review
The optimal treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) depends upon a proper understanding of the electrophysiological basis of its clinical manifestations. Whether AF is continuous (persistent) or intermittent (paroxysmal) depends on variable underlying electrophysiology and determines the choice of interventional treatment. The initiation of intermittent AF requires a "trigger", often, though not ...

If we want to improve the outcomes, increase the success and reduce the complication rate of existing treatment strategies in concomitant and stand-alone atrial fibrillation (AF) procedures, we will have to increase our understanding of the pathophysiology, and of the disease, the limitations of current energy sources and ablation catheters, the different possible lesion sets, as well as improv...
متن کاملAdvances in surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia. It is associated with increased risks of death and stroke; most strokes in AF patients are thought to arise from thrombi in the left atrial appendage. Surgical ablation of AF includes excision of the left atrial appendage and is an effective means of treating this arrhythmia, with the classic Maze procedure curing AF in >90% of p...
متن کاملAdvances in Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac rhythm disturbance, affecting 2.2 million people within the United States and 5.5 million worldwide. The incidence of AF increases with age, with a prevalence of 0.5% of people in the fifth decade of life, rising to 10% of people in the eighth decade [1]. AF is associated with a number of predisposing cardiovascular disorders, including corona...
متن کاملSurgical Treatment of Concomitant Atrial Fibrillation: Focus onto Atrial Contractility
BACKGROUND Maze procedure aims at restoring sinus rhythm (SR) and atrial contractility (AC). This study evaluated multiple aspects of AC recovery and their relationship with SR regain after ablation. METHODS 122 mitral and fibrillating patients underwent radiofrequency Maze. Rhythm check and echocardiographic control of biatrial contractility were performed at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoper...
