Cox/maze procedure for atrial septal defect with atrial fibrillation: management strategies

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
L I BonchekE F Lundy

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation is found at late follow-up in approximately half of all adults who have had correction of atrial septal defect, even if it was not present preoperatively. These patients are thus exposed to the risks of stroke and chronic drug therapy even after a successful operation. Simultaneous surgical correction of atrial septal defect and atrial fibrillation was accomplished in a 52-year-old man by means of the Cox/maze procedure. The small added risk and the substantial benefit of eliminating atrial fibrillation suggest that this approach is warranted in selected adults with atrial septal defect.

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.
