Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of unipolar radiofrequency ablation in patients in whom valve replacement was performed for persistent atrial fibrillation. Material and Methods: In our study 22 patients were included which had concomitant mitral valve replacement and left atrial ablation between January 2010-January 2012. Mid-term control and postoperative electrocardiography records of the patients were evaluated retrospectively. In addition, the effects of cardiac function on postoperative AF were investigated. Results: After cardiopulmonary bypass, 14 (63.6%) patients maintained normal sinus rhythm, including one patient with the support of a temporary pace among 8 (36.3%) patients observed in the intensive care unit after replacement. In the early period, one patient died due to low flow, and prolonged intubation. At the end of the first month, 15 (71.4%) patients were in sinus rhythm, 6 patients (28.6%) had persistent atrial fibrillation. By the tenth postoperative month permanent pace maker was implanted to a patient with persistent atrial fibrillation. At the end of 6 th month he had no atrial fibrillation. Conclusion: The success achieved with the unipolar radiofrequency left atrial ablation was found to be consistent with the findings of the literature. In our study, patient age and pulmonary hypertension was evaluated as predictive of ongoing postoperative AF

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı mitral kapak replasmanı uygulanan persistan atriyal fibrilasyonlu (AF) hastalarda unipolar radyofrekans ablasyon etkinliğinin araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza, Ocak 2010-Ocak 2012 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde mitral kapak replasmanı uygulanan ve beraberinde sol atriyal ablasyon uygulanan 22 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların postoperatif ve orta dönem kontrol 12 derivasyonlu EKG kayıtları geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların operasyon sonrası 6 ay boyunca takip edilmesi planlandı. Bulgular: Kardiyopulmoner bypass çıkışında 14 (%63.6) hastada normal sinüs ritmi sağlandı, 1 hasta geçici pace desteğinde olmak üzere 8 (%36.3) hasta AF ile yoğun bakıma alındı. Erken dönemde 1 hasta düşük debi ve uzamış entübasyon nedeniyle kaybedildi. Birinci ay sonunda 15 hasta (%71.4) sinüs ritminde, 6 hastada (%28.6) atriyal fibrilasyon devam etmekteydi. Atriyal fibrilasyon ile takip edilen bir hastaya postoperatif 10. ayında kalıcı pace implante edildi. Altıncı ay sonunda tekrarlayan atriyal fibrilasyon olmadı. Sonuç: Sol atriyal unipolar radyofrekans ablasyon tedavisinde elde edilen başarı literatür bulguları ile uyumlu olarak bulundu. Çalışmamız sonucunda, hasta yaşı ve pulmoner hipertansiyon postoperatif devam eden AF için prediktif olarak değerlendirilm
