Impact of Preoperative 64-Slice CT Scanning on Mini-Maze Atrial Fibrillation Surgery.
BACKGROUND : Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is emerging as a powerful noninvasive diagnostic tool. The appropriate role of this technique in the preoperative evaluation of cardiovascular disease has yet to be fully defined. Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, and novel minimally invasive surgical techniques have been developed to treat this condition b...
متن کاملTreatment of lone atrial fibrillation: minimally invasive pulmonary vein isolation, partial cardiac denervation and excision of the left atrial appendage.
Since 1999, my colleagues and I have diligently pursued a minimally invasive surgical, beating-heart, left atrial isolation technique that is offered to patients with lone atrial fibrillation (AF). We began clinical cases in 2003. In 2005, we reported our initial experience with video-assisted bilateral pulmonary vein (PV) isolation and left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion for the minimally in...
متن کاملExtra-pericardial tamponade following Wolf Mini-Maze procedure: a case report

In this case, atypical presentation of cardiac tamponade caused by postoperative anticoagulation resulted in a second hospitalization, a second surgery, and delayed recovery time. The goal of this case report is to increase awareness ab...

متن کاملTreatment of lone atrial fibrillation: a look at the past, a view of the present and a glance at the future.
Despite its proven efficacy, the Cox-Maze III procedure did not gain widespread acceptance for the treatment of lone atrial fibrillation (LAF) because of its complexity and technical difficulty. Surgical ablation for LAF can now be successfully performed utilizing minimally invasive techniques. This article provides an overview of the current state of the art in the surgical treatment of LAF. A...
