Atrial arrhythmias and pacing after orthotopic heart transplantation: bicaval versus standard atrial anastomosis

British Heart Journal

Abstract

Right and left atrial configuration is more normal when the donor left atrium is anastomosed to a recipient left atrial cuff with direct anastomoses of the donor and recipient vena cavas on the right side. The right atrium and sinus node may be less disturbed by the technique of bicaval anastomosis than by the standard procedure. To compare the incidence of atrial arrhythmias and pacing after bicaval and standard anastomoses. 75 patients had heart transplants between January 1991 and December 1993. The notes were reviewed. Nine patients who died within the first 30 days were excluded from further analysis (seven patients with standard anastomoses, one with bicaval anastomosis, and one with a hybrid technique). 66 patients survived for more than 30 days. Thirty five patients had standard anastomoses and 31 bicaval anastomoses. Atrial tachyarrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, or supraventricular tachycardia) occurred on four days in three patients in the bicaval group compared with 27 days in 13 patients in the standard group (P = 0.009). The relative risk of atrial tachyarrhythmias with standard anastomosis was 5.52 (P = 0.015) compared with that of bicaval anastomosis. Atrial tachyarrhythmias re...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
