The Surgical Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation: Ablation Technology and Surgical Approaches

Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2013
The Cox maze procedure developed originally in 1987 by Dr James Cox has evolved from a “cut and sew” surgical procedure, where the maze was applied using multiple surgical cuts, to an extensive use of surgical ablation technology where ablation lesions ...

Clinical efficacy and safety of Cox-maze IV procedure for atrial fibrillation in patients with aortic valve calcification

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
ObjectiveAtrial fibrillation is associated with a high incidence of heart valve disease. There are few prospective clinical research comparing aortic valve replacement with and without surgical ablation for safety and effectiveness.

Hybrid ablation for atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta-analysisCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2021
Background: Both catheter and surgical ablation strategies offer effective treatments of atrial fibrillation (AF). The hybrid (joint surgical and catheter) ablation for AF is an emerging rhythm control strategy.

Case report: Thoracoscopic ablation for a patient with atrial fibrillation and persistent left superior vena cava

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a relatively rare congenital anomaly in the general population. It plays an important role in initiating and maintaining atrial fibrillation (AF) in some patients.

Novel Entropy-Based Metrics for Long-Term Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence Prediction Following Surgical Ablation: Insights from Preoperative Electrocardiographic Analysis

Entropy, 2023
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia often treated concomitantly with other cardiac interventions through the Cox–Maze procedure. This highly invasive intervention is still linked to a long-term recurrence rate of approximately 35 ...

Comparison of procedural outcomes in patients undergoing catheter vs surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2021
Background There is a lack of research comparing procedural outcomes of surgical ablation (SA) and catheter ablation (CA) among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Thoracoscopic surgical ablation versus catheter ablation as first-line treatment for long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation: the CASA-AF RCT

Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation, 2021
Background: Standalone thoracoscopic surgical ablation may be more effective than catheter ablation in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.

The clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ablative therapies in the management of liver metastases: systematic review and economic evaluation [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Many deaths from cancer are caused by metastatic burden. Prognosis and survival rates vary, but survival beyond 5 years of patients with untreated metastatic disease in the liver is rare.
