ВЛИЯЕТ ЛИ ОПЕРАЦИЯ «ЛАБИРИНТ» НА РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ ПРОТЕЗИРОВАНИЯ МИТРАЛЬНОГО КЛАПАНА В ГОСПИТАЛЬНОМ ПЕРИОДЕ?

Abstract

Aims. To assess the outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment by radiofrequency ablation for patients with mitral valve replacement, the analysis of short-term results of 128 patients was performed. Methods. Mean age of the patients was 56,7±9,6 (29 - 79) years, males - 39, females - 89. Most of the patients had longstanding persistent AF - 81 (63,3%), 28 (21,9%) had persistent AF and 19 (14,8%) - paroxysmal AF. The indications for surgery were: rheumatic mitral valve disease in 105 patients (82%), degerative mitral valve disease - in 21 (16,4%) and with treated infectious endocarditis - in 2 (1,6%). Maze IV procedure was carried out in all cases. Results. Hospital mortality was 0,8% (1 patient). Ten patients (7,9%) required pacemaker implantation. The indications were sinus node dysfunction in 7 patients, bradycardia AF - in 2 patients, AV node dysfunction - in 1. At the discharge 88 patients (69,3%) had a sinus rhythm, 10 (7,9%) - atrial rhythm, pacemaker rhythm with sinus node dysfunction patients - in 4 (3,1%) and AF - in 25 (19,7%). Thus, the rate of freedom from atrial fibrillation was 80,3% (102 patients). The effectiveness of ablation for paroxysmal AF was 100%, persistent - 74,1%, longstanding persistent - 77,8% (p=0,006). To reveal other predictors of freedom from AF at the discharge each ECHO parameter was included in the simple logistic regression analysis. Statistically significant p-value was obtained for the preoperative right atrial size (p=0,005), and close to it for the left atrial size, especially for the index left atrial volume/body surface area (p=0,052). Conclusion. Thus, the radiofrequency ablation is an effective method for treatment of AF in patients undergoing mitral valve replacement. The rate of freedom from AF at the discharge is 80,3%. The predictors of freedom from AF at the discharge are preoperative form of AF and preoperative size of atria.
