Key result
Simultaneous AF correction and AVR restores sinus rhythm in ~91% of patients at discharge.
Why the study?
Surgical interventions combining correction of atrial fibrillation and aortic valve replacement remain complex and incompletely understood in patients with combined heart disease.

Simultaneous surgical correction of aortic valve pathology and atrial fibrillation using the Maze IIIB procedure is feasible with an acceptable in-hospital mortality rate of 4.4% and high rates of sinus rhythm restoration at discharge.
Introduction The modern improvement of surgical, anesthetic and resuscitation technology allows us to expand the indications and surgical activity for the cohort of patients with complex co-morbidities of heart and blood vessels. Surgical interventions with combined heart disease still remains one of the most complex and incompletely understood problem of modern cardiac

Bockeriа et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Atrial fibrillation and aortic valve pathology (n=68). Simultaneous surgical correction of atrial fibrillation and aortic valve replacement was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Simultaneous surgical correction of atrial fibrillation and aortic valve replacement resulted in an in-hospital mortality rate of 4.4% and restored sinus rhythm in 91.2% of patients at discharge.
