DOI: 10.1007/s11748-021-01700-7
Abstract: Acquired pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis (PVS) is a complication following cardiac catheter intervention. However, very few cases of PVS after surgical ablation have been reported. We herein report a case of stenosis and occlusion at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1053/j.semtcvs.2017.08.015
Abstract: According to guidelines, atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation success should be measured by 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram (ECG). However, information on long-term success, especially obtained by 24-hour Holter ECG, is rare. We therefore analyzed rhythm course and… read more here.

Mid-term outcomes of concomitant surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy†
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery"
DOI: 10.1093/ejcts/ezx017
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and it is often poorly tolerated because of loss of atrial contraction and reduced filling time with rapid ventricular rates. Restoring sinus rhythm… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/imi.0000000000000570
Abstract: Untreated atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and morbidity. Despite the current guidelines recommending surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation at the time of coronary artery bypass surgery, most patients with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2022-320939
Abstract: Objective There is limited evidence regarding the effectiveness of left atrial appendage (LAA) closure during surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) in yielding superior clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LAA… read more here.
