چکیده
Results Between 01/2013 and 03/2015 56 patients (32% female; 73 ± 7 years) received PVI and LAA occlusion concomitant to other cardiac surgery. 34 (61%) patients suffered for paroxysmal AF and 22 (39%) for chronic AF. 15 patients underwent isolated mitral valve surgery, 8 in combination with CABG and 3 with aortic valve surgery. 6 patients were admitted for isolated aortic valve surgery, 3 in combination with CABG and 21 for isolated CABG. Median follow up was 267 (102; 365) days after surgery, 84% had normal SR (group 1 85%, group 2 82%, p = 0.59) and there were no strokes and no reinterventions. 75% were on treatment with anticoagulants and 54% were in NYHA class 0-1, 38% in NYHA class 2-3 and 7% in NYHA class 4. We observed 3 deaths, including 1 early death that was lost to FU.

Left atrial concomitant surgical ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation in cardiac surgery: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
INTRODUCTION Surgical ablation is a generally established treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing concomitant cardiac surgery. Left atrial (LA) lesion set for ablation is a simplified procedure suggested to reduce the surgery time and morbidity after procedure. The present meta-analysis aims to explore the outcomes of left atrial lesion set versus no ablative treatment in pat...
متن کاملTreatment of atrial fibrillation using ultrasonic cardiac ablation, during valvular heart surgery.
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation with ultrasound ablation concomitant to mitral surgery in PROCAPE's patients with permanent atrial fibrillation. METHODS From March 2008 through January 2009 a prospective study was performed at the Pernambuco Cardiology Emergency Facility on 44 consecutive patients with a permanent atrial fibrillation and con...
متن کاملA 5-year clinical experience with bipolar radiofrequency ablation for permanent atrial fibrillation concomitant to coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic valve surgery.
This study analyses the 5-year results of permanent atrial fibrillation (pAF) bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation surgery concomitant to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or aortic valve (AV) surgery. Eighty-five patients with pAF (0.5-30 years) underwent bipolar RF ablation procedure concomitant to CABG/AV surgery. All patients were restudied to assess survival, conversion rate to st...
متن کاملImpact of epicardial ablation of concomitant atrial fibrillation on atrial natriuretic peptide levels and atrial function in 6 months follow-up: does preoperative ANP level predict outcome of ablation?
BACKGROUND Epicardial ablation concomitant to cardiac surgery is an easy and safe approach to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), but its efficacy in longstanding persistent (LsPe) AF remains intermediate. Although larger left atrial size has been associated with worse outcome after ablation, biochemical predictors of success are not well established. The aim of this study was to evaluate relations...
متن کاملA case-matched comparative study of surgical radiofrequency (RF) ablation for patients with persistent or long-standing atrial fibrillation undergoing concomitant heart surgery.
INTRODUCTION Recent guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology suggest that surgical ablation should be considered in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who present for concomitant surgically correctable disease. This is a case-matched study of radiofrequency ablation during concomitant cardiac surgery versus lone surgery on patients with persistent and long-standing permanent AF. ...
متن کاملThe effect of concomitant radiofrequency ablation and surgical technique (repair versus replacement) on release of cardiac biomarkers during mitral valve surgery.
All patients undergoing heart surgery experience a certain amount of nonspecific myocardial injury documented by the release of cardiac biomarkers and associated with poor outcome. We investigated the role of unipolar radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation on the release of cardiac biomarkers in 71 patients undergoing mitral valve surgery and concomitant left atrial ablation case-matche...
