چکیده

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-matched with 71 patients undergoing isolated mitral surgery. The study was powered to detect a 3 ng/mL difference. There was no difference between the 2 groups in terms of cardiac troponin I (10 +/- 5.3 versus 12 + 10.4 ng/mL; P = 0.7) or creatine kinase-MB (50 +/- 21.8 versus 57 +/- 62.0 ng/mL; P = 0.5) release. Postoperative peak cardiac troponin I levels had univariate associations with the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (P = 0.002) and aortic cross-clamping (P = 0.001) and with the surgical technique (15 +/- 12 ng/mL for mitral valve replacement versus 9 +/- 4.8 for mitral valve repair; P = 0.0007) at univariate analysis. Mitral valve replacement was the only independent predictor of postoperative peak release of cardiac troponin I identified with multivariate analysis (P = 0.005). Radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation does not significantly increase cardiac biomarker release compared with isolated mitral surgery; mitral valve repair is associated with less release of cardiac biomarkers compared with mitral valve replacement.

Right sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.

Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...

Perimitral atrial flutter associated with a protected coronary sinus after a Maze IV procedure and concomitant mitral annulus repair

Introduction The Maze IV procedure during cardiac surgery is an established treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) concomitant with a mitral valve repair or replacement. Recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias are mainly left atrial (LA) flutter, which is associated with gaps on previous surgical lesions. Herein, we report a case in which a 3-dimensional mapping system could demonstrate...

Radiofrequency Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Technique in Patients with Mitral Valve Surgery and Left Atrial Reduction Procedures

BACKGROUND About half of all patients who undergo mitral valve surgery suffer from atrial fibrillation (AF). Cox described the surgical cut-and-sew Maze procedure, which is an effective surgical method but has some complications. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of a substitution method of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for patients undergoing mitral valve surgery with AF. METH...

Atrial Fibrillation Left Atrial Versus Bi-Atrial Maze Operation Using Intraoperatively Cooled-Tip Radiofrequency Ablation in Patients Undergoing Open-Heart Surgery Safety and Efficacy

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether limited left atrial Maze surgery encircling each of the pulmonary veins, using cooled-tip radiofrequency (RF) ablation, is as effective as the bi-atrial approach? BACKGROUND The original Cox/Maze operation effectively restores sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Ablation procedures aimed at eliminating pulmonary vein foci have p...

Early and long-term outcomes and quality of life after concomitant mitral valve surgery, left atrial size reduction, and radiofrequency surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation

OBJECTIVE Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most formidable supraventricular tachyarrhythmia, which worsens the natural course of mitral valve disease. In this study, we evaluated early and long-term results and quality of life (QOL) after simultaneous surgical radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of AF, left atrial reduction and mitral valve repair or replacement. METHODS Overall, 147 patients with m...
