Risk of Intraatrial Thrombi After Thoracoscopic Ablation in Absence of Heparin and Appendage Closure

Abstract: Thoracoscopic ablation of AF can be associated with a risk of left atrial appendage thrombus formation and possibly also stroke. With administration of heparin during the ablation, followed by occlusion of the left atrial appendage as a part of the procedure, this risk can be effectively reduced.

“…However, the efficacy of catheter ablation in patients with the non-paroxysmal form of AF remains limited. Based on the efficacy of the surgical maze procedure, that consists of exactly described set of lesions in atria being performed during open chest surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass, its less invasive variation, i.e., thoracoscopic epicardial ablation have been introduced (8). As in any invasive cardiac procedure, ablation poses a potential risk for periprocedural embolization, especially to the brain (9).…”

“…Od října 2014 je heparin podáván během operace (před vlastní ablací) s cílem dosáhnout aktivovaného srážecího času (ACT) 300-350 s a posléze udržovat cílový ACT 180-220 s až do rána, kdy je nasazován LMWH. Podrobněji tyto změny rozebíráme v jiné naší publikaci [39].…”
