Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of treating atrial fibrillation(AF)in beating heart surgery using bipolar Radiofrequency Ablation(RFA)system. Methods Treating AF in beating heart under normal temperature CBP surgery with bipolar RFA following the circuit of maze operation,2 - 6 times each place,until sinus rhythm appeared,then perform AVR or MVR in the stopped beating heart. Results All 18 cases survived the surgery. Sinus rhythm appeared in all cases. The average treating time was 28 minutes. Conclusions Application of bipolar RFA in the treatment of AF in beating heart is a safe and efficacy method. It is recommended to be applied widely.
