Objective To observe efifcacy and safety of catheter ablation for atrial ifbrillation (AF) occurring after surgical valve replacement in patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Methods A total of 23 RHD patients with atrial ifbrillation after surgical valve replacement were enrolled in this study from 2008 to 2013. The clinical characteristics, ablation strategies and successful rate were investigated. Results All the cases included 8 males and 15 females (age, 51.0 ± 9.2 years). Valves replaced were isolated mitral valves (13/23, 56.5%) and multiple valves (10/23, 43.5%). Postoperative AF after cardiac surgery was paroxysmal in 14 patients (60.9%) and nonparoxysmal in 9 cases. Nine patients (39.1%) was in sinus rhythm before cardiac surgery, 4 in paroxysmal AF and 10 in non-paroxysmal AF. The mean interval between the catheter ablation AF and the surgical intervention was (6.9±5.8) years. The postoperative AF duration was (3.1±3.2) years, left and right atrial diameters were (44.1±5.9) mm and (48.1±9.0) mm respectively, left ventricular ejection fraction was 64.0%±8.3%, the mean ablation procedure duration was (156.8±46.6) min, and lfuoroscopy exposure averaged (27.3±11.2) min. Standard pulmonary vein isolation was performed in all cases by using ipsilateral circumferential ablation technique. Additional ablation, including complex fractionated atrial electrograms, mitral and tricuspid isthmus, and left atrial roof, was applied in most of the cases. After a mean follow-up of (29.7±21.2) months (median, 24 months), 60.9%of the patients remained free of AF, 1 died, and 2 lost to follow-up. Conclusions Catheter ablation for AF is effective and safe in patients with RHD after surgical valve replacement. Stepwise ablation strategy may be better for these patients.
