Presentation Title:

Early and long-term results of radiofrequency pulmonary vein ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation during isolated CABG

Abstract

Early and long-term results of radiofrequency pulmonary vein ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation during isolated coronary artery bypass grafting were analyzed.

A retrospective analysis of 108 consecutive CABGs with pulmonary vein ablation from 2011 to 2018 was performed at the Federal Center for Cardiovascular Surgery (Chelyabinsk). Patients undergoing operation with documented preoperative paroxysmal AF were included. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of simultaneous CABG and pulmonary vein ablation.

Hospital mortality was 0.9%. long-term survival rate was 100%. No pacemaker implantation was required. At the time of discharge, 95.91% were free from atrial fibrillation. During follow-up, 100 patients (92.59%) were examined. The mean follow-up period was 41.7 ± 19.3 (6–88) months. The freedom from strokes was 100%. The freedom from atrial fibrillation was 96%.

Simultaneous pulmonary vein ablation during CABG is an efficacy and safe procedure for treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, providing a favorable in-hospital and long-term results.
