Thoracoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation for Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Box-Lesion Technique
Original language description
ABSTRACT Background: We report the feasibility and outcomes of box-lesion ablation technique to treat stand-alone atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: There were 41 patients with a mean age of 57.6 +/- 8.0 years who underwent bilateral totally thoracoscopic ablation of symptomatic paroxysmal AF (n = 24; 58.5%), persistent AF (n = 9; 22.0%), or long-standing persistent AF (n = 8; 19.5%). The box-lesion procedure included bilateral pulmonary vein and left atrial posterior wall ablation using irrigated bipolar radiofrequency with documentation of conduction block. Results: There were no intra- or perioperative ablation-related complications. There was no operative mortality, no myocardial infarction, and no stroke. Skin-to-skin procedure time was 119.5+/- 23.7 minutes and the postoperative average length of stay was 7.4+/- 2.5 days. At discharge, 38 patients (93%) were in sinus rhythm. Median follow-up time was 641 days (ranges, 185-1636 days). At six months postsurgery, 31 patients of 41 (
