The Factors Affecting Rhythm Control for Cryoablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Mitral Valve Surgery

Abstract: ObjectiveTo evaluate the factors impacting on the conversion to sinus rhythm and on the postoperative rhythm findings in the six-month follow-up period of a mitral valve surgery combined with cryoablation Cox-Maze III procedure, in patients with atrial fibrillation.MethodsIn this study, we evaluated 80 patients who underwent structural valve disease surgery in combination with cryoablation. Indications for the surgical procedures were determined in the patients according to the presence of rheumatic or non-rhe… Show more

“…In order to lower the morbidity and mortality rates from such a frequent complication, preoperative risk factors should essentially be identified along with the development of clinical predictive models and prophylactic strategies 7,8 . In patients under 70 years of age, who undergo CABG, the incidence of AF in the first post-operative year is higher, indicating its association with higher renal dysfunction and infection [9][10][11][12][13] .…”
