Objective New permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation after concomitant atrial fibrillation
(AF) ablation has been associated with surgical ablation (SA). We sought to determine …

Objectives Concomitant surgical atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is a safe and feasible
procedure, recommended in guidelines. Pacemaker dependency is a known complication of …

Background: The incidence of permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is higher following
mitral valve surgery (MVS) with ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) compared with MVS alone …

Background Among patients referred for cardiac surgery, atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common
comorbidity and a risk factor for postoperative arrhythmias (eg, sinus node dysfunction …

The aim of this study was to retrospectively investigate whether performing surgical atrial
fibrillation (AF) ablation in conjunction with cardiac surgery (CS) increases the risk for …

Background Sinus node dysfunction requiring pacemaker implantation is commonly
associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), but may not be clinically apparent until restoration of …

Background: The incidence of subsequent need for permanent pacemaker implantation
(PMI) after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in real world …

Objectives Concomitant surgical ablation is a safe and feasible procedure, recommended by
the guidelines for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing cardiac surgery. We …

The benefit of avoiding lifelong anticoagulation therapy in patients with bioprosthetic heart
valve implantation may potentially be offset by atrial fibrillation (AF); however, clinical impact …

Background Scarce data have been reported on the efficacy of concomitant atrial fibrillation
(AF) ablation in patients undergoing bioprosthetic valve replacement. Methods From 2001 …
