the safety and efficacy of pulmonary vein antrum
isolation in patients with moderate valvular heart
disease or open-heart surgery and atrial fibrillation
(AF). BACKGROUND: Valvular heart disease and open-heart
surgery are commonly associated with AF and increase
the risk of adverse events in AF patients. METHODS: A
total of 391 consecutive patients who had pulmonary
vein antrum isolation performed between December 2000
and December 2002 were screened. A total of 142 of
these patients had clinically significant valvular
disease or prior cardiac surgery. End points included
AF recurrence and pulmonary vein antrum isolation
complication rates. RESULTS: Patients with valvular
heart disease or prior open-heart surgery were older,
had larger left atria and a more advanced New York
Heart Association class. They did not differ
significantly with respect to gender, but had a longer
history of AF. Procedure times were similar between
patients with and without valvular heart disease or
prior open-heart surgery. After 18 +/- 7 months in the
lone AF patients, 11 +/- 5 months in patients with
valvular heart disease, and 10 +/- 5 months in patients
with prior open heart surgery, there was a trend toward
lower recurrence of AF in patients with lone AF who
enjoyed a 98\% overall cure rate after up to 2
pulmonary vein antrum isolations versus 93\% among
patients with valvular heart disease (P = .04) and
prior open heart surgery (P = .07). Complication rates
were comparable between groups. CONCLUSIONS: Pulmonary
vein antrum isolation is safe and effective in patients
with moderate valvular heart disease and the patients
who developed AF after open-heart surgery. These
results have implications for our understanding of the
pathophysiology of AF in patients with moderate
valvular heart disease or past cardiac surgery and
should be considered when discussing treatment options
in these patients.",
