  • Kirurško zdravljenje atrijske fibrilacije = Surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation
    Geršak, Borut
    Substantial proportion of the present population worldwide is threatened by cardiac arrhythmias. Despite improved recognition and diagnostic tools, betterknowledge of the underlying mechanisms, ... identification of risk factors and more efficient medical treatment it still contributes significantly to overall morbidity and mortality. Recent progress in understanding of underlying electrophysiology with concomitant development of newer technologies and techniques enables us to target cardiac arrhythmias by causalapproach. Consequently, the role of surgical ablative treatment of atrial fibrillation accompanying structural heart disease is gaining importance. There has been a profound advancement achieved in the cardiac surgery field over the past years resulting in new and less invasive treatmentmodalities. Anticipating every surgical procedure poses a certain risk to the patient it is mandatory to define and recognize every possible preoperative factor and mechanism that might affect the postoperative course or even result in suboptimal and undesired outcome. The surgical therapy of atrial fibrillation is directed to those patients with atrial fibrillation, who are operated for mitral (and tricuspid) valve disease, also in combinationwith coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or in some centres even wider: to those with aortic valve surgery and off-pump CABG.
