| الوصف: | OBJECTIVE: This analysis was undertaken to evaluate the results of persistent atrial fibrillation (pAF) ablation procedures concomitant to coronary surgery and to identify the risk factors for pAF recurrence. METHODS: Since 2001, a total of 126 consecutive patients with pAF (duration: 0.5-33 years) underwent ablation concomitant to coronary surgery (isolated or in combination with valve surgery), whereby two encircling isolation lesions around the left and the right pulmonary veins and a connecting lesion between both was created using radiofrequency ablation. Patients were reevaluated at discharge, 3 months and 3 years after surgery. RESULTS: Survivals at the time of reexamination were 96.8, 95.1 and 94.7 %, respectively. Stable sinus rhythm (SR) could be documented in 66.4, 75.1 and 75.9 % of surviving patients. Long-term pAF before surgery and a larger left atrium (LA) were predictive of postoperative pAF return ( P < 0.01). Statistical analysis demonstrated a cut-off point of 5 years for pAF and 50 mm for LA diameter: 89.1 % of patients with pAF duration of < 5 years and 86.2 % of patients with LA size of ≤ 50 mm were in stable SR at late follow-up. Cardiac rhythm at 3 months was predictive for long-term rhythm prognosis ( P < 0.01). Age, gender and concomitant diseases (e.g. arterial hypertension, diabetes, renal insufficiency), and the underlying cause of heart disease did not significantly influence the postoperative cardiac rhythm. CONCLUSIONS: The duration of pAF and the LA size are the most reliable preoperative variables to predict the success rate of ablation in patients undergoing coronary surgery. The probability of re-establishing stable SR is excellent when pAF duration is short and LA size is small. |
