8 kwi 2024 · Life expectancy after cardiac ablation depends on a range of factors, such as whether the procedure causes complications. Learn more here.
3 dni temu · Sukarai and colleagues reviewed long-term outcomes of concomitant surgical ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing cardiac surgery. This was performed by meta-analysis, encompassing 9 randomized controlled trials and 15 observational studies with over 40,000 patients [1]. The authors found that at a median follow-up of 62 months, surgical ablation was associated with a ...
29 paź 2019 · The early mortality rate after CA of AF is 0.46%, with approximately 50% of deaths occurring during rehospitalizations within the first 30 days of the index hospitalization. The strongest predictors of early death are a procedural complication and HF, suggesting that early identification and treatment of a complication and HF might decrease the ...
Concomitant AF ablation significantly improved the overall 5-year survival rates and it improved survival rates in three separate groups of patients, those undergoing isolated CABG, Valve Surgery, and combined CABG/Valve Surgery . These three studies by Damiano’s group, Suwalski’s Polish Registry, and Iribarne’s New England consortium ...
26 lip 2016 · Selection of patients to undergo ablation is an important aspect of AF care. Patients with the highest success rates of ablation are those with normal structural hearts and paroxysmal AF, although those with congestive heart failure have the greatest potential benefit of the procedure.
5 mar 2015 · Catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation using the stepwise approach with the endpoint of atrial fibrillation termination provides limited long-term freedom of arrhythmias with single and multiple procedure success rates of 20.1% and 55.9% often requiring multiple procedures. •.
18 mar 2013 · Cumulative survival data were obtained from each study and pooled at the 1‐year follow‐up and latest follow‐up time points. For Kaplan–Meier data, arrhythmia‐free survival rates were extracted using graphic digitization software (DigitizeIt).
