Abstract

We compared short-term results of a hybrid versus a standard surgical bilateral thoracoscopic approach employing radiofrequency (RF) sources in the surgical treatment of lone atrial fibrillation (LAF). Between January 2008 and July 2010 sixty-three consecutive patients with LAF underwent minimally invasive surgery. Thirty-five (55.5%) underwent surgery with the hybrid approach whereas 28 (45.5%) underwent bilateral thoracoscopic standard procedure (no-hybrid group). All patients underwent continuous 7-day Holter Monitoring (HM) at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. At 1 year, 91.4% and 82.1% (time-related prevalence 5.2% vs.6.0% [p=0.56]) of the patients were free of AF and AAD. The hybrid group yielded better results in long standing persistent AF (8.2% [time related prevalence 81.8% vs. 44.4%, p=0.001] vs.14.9%, p=0.04). One-year success rates were 87.5% vs. 100% (p=0.04) in persistent [time related prevalence 3.8% vs. 0%, p<0.001] and 87.5% vs. 100% (p=0.04) in paroxysmal AF [time related prevalence 3.2% vs. 0%, p<0.001] in the two groups. One-year prevalence of Warfarin use was significantly higher in the hybrid group (29.0% [26.2-33.1] and 13.4% [9.9-16.3]) with no difference by AF type. LA reverse remodeling occurred in 81.7%...Continue Reading

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.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.
