OP-023 Left Atrial Radiofrequency Ablation During Mitral Valve Surgery Improve Functional Capacity and the Clinical Outcome




Objective


Aims of this study were to report sinus rhythm restoration and to determinate functional capacity and clinical outcome at follow-up after concomitant left atrial radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during mitral valve surgery.




Methods


Between December 2008 and December 2011, 83 patients with AF underwent mitral valve surgery at our institution. Forty-five (54%) patients (Group A) received concomitant left atrium RFA and 38 (46%) patients did not (Group NA). All patients were evaluated 18±8,6 months after surgery. In each group clinical evaluation, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, two-dimensional echocardiography, 24 ECG Holter monitoring, and BNP level were compared during follow-up.
