Abstract:

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the results of CryoMaze procedure for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing heart valve surgery.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Cryoablation was performed in 22 patients with paroxysmal AF undergoing heart valve surgery in 2022—2023. All patients underwent biatrial ablation procedure.

RESULTS

In-hospital postoperative period was characterized by frequent paroxysms AF and atrial flutter (50%), AF persistence in 8 patients (36%), stable sinus rhythm in 3 patients (14%) and temporary pacing in more than 50% of cases. Implantation of permanent pacemaker was necessary in two patients (9%). Mean follow-up period was 10.2±3.7 months. Considering additional therapy (drug therapy, electrical cardioversion, catheter ablation), we can emphasize high percentage of sinus rhythm recovery outside the «blind period» after biatrial CryoMaze procedure (16 (73%) patients). At the same time, catheter ablation can increase the effectiveness of CryoMaze procedure.
