射频消融迷宫治疗心房纤颤

作者采用射频消融迷宫术治疗心房纤颤２０例,其中１９例合并风湿性二尖瓣病的患者,同时行瓣膜替换术,１例合并房间隔缺损患者进行修得。射频消融的路线采用小板井嘉夫的手术径路。术后１６例恢复窦性心律,占８０％,未恢复窦性心律的４例,２例为房颤,１例为房扑,另１例为结性心律。

Treatment of atrial fibrillation using maze procedure by radiofrequency ablation

From May 1994 to May 1996, 20 cases of atrial fibrillation were treated by means of Maze procedure by radiofrequenncy ablation, at the same time 19 cases of these patients were complicated with rheumatic heart valve disease and valve replacement operations were perfomned, in the other case atrial septal defect was repaired. Yoshio Kosakai's operation route was adopted in radiofrequency ablation procedure. After operation 16 patients of atrial fibrillation resumed sinus rhythm (80%), in 4 casess of atrial fibrillation sinus rhythm was unsuccessfully restored, two patients remained atrial fibrillation, one patient was of atrial flutter, the other was of nodal rhythm. Short time was needed in radiofrequency ablation Maze procedure, average time increase of aortic clamping was 20.5 minutes, and there was no danger of hemorrhage related to this kinds of Maze procedure. During 7-10 days after operation, there appeared superventricular arrhythmia which might be related to ill-distribution of radiofrequency ablation, and interference of atrial electric activity.
