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 کاملImpact of first line radiofrequency ablation in patients with lone atrial flutter on the long term risk of subsequent atrial fibrillation.
R adiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) of the inferior vena cava–tricuspid isthmus is the treatment of choice for atrial flutter (AFL) given its high efficacy. One controlled study of AFL with medication has been done to date. Despite the introduction and high success rate of periablation, questions remained: is transisthmus ablation a definite cure for patients with AFL or can their follow up...

Age is no bar to implement this option. The same d...
