Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, is associated with an increased risk of death, stroke, and hospitalisation, and is furthermore known to reduce quality of life and exercise capacity [1, 2]. Therefore, the 2012 Guidelines for the managem...
Vein damage during the procedure happens to one in 500 patients. A small surgery is required to repair the vein when this occurs. Another surgical risk during ablation for atrial flutter is the possibility of blood filling the sac around the heart. This occurs in approximately one out of 200...
Forty-two patients had prior left atrial catheter ablation procedures (79%), one patient prior ablation for classic atrial flutter (2%), four patients had prior surgery for congenital heart disease (8%), and six patients (11%) had no previous cardiac intervention. Acute procedural success, ...

In patients having undergone cardiac surgery, atypical flutter may be based on reentry around surgical scars. To our knowledge, the mechanism of type II flutter has not been disclosed in humans. 展开 关键词: flutter mechanisms atrial reentry common flutter atypical flutter atrial endocardial ...

technology should be the freedom from AF/atrial flutter/tachycardia off antiarrhythmic therapy of greater than 30 seconds’ duration. However, the acceptance that the burden of AF of less than 30 seconds is insignificant has no basis in scientific evidence, despite the need for an agreement for ...
1999 to October 2004, 2.4% of which were complicated by perforation requiringpericardiocentesis. The most common site of perforation was the LA (60%), followed by theRV(33%), and the RA (6.7%). All were initially managed with pericardiocentesis, but 13% subsequently required surgery becau...
