Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

500
Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...

Summary

Concurrent and staged hybrid ablation are effective for long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF). Achieving intraprocedural atrial fibrillation (AF) termination during ablation improves outcomes for both approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiac Electrophysiology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF) has unsatisfactory success rates with catheter ablation (CA) alone.
  • Improved ablation strategies are needed for effective LSPAF treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare outcomes of concurrent versus staged minimally invasive surgical-catheter hybrid ablation for LSPAF.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of these hybrid approaches.

Main Methods:

  • A study included 104 matched patients with LSPAF, divided into concurrent and staged hybrid ablation groups (1:1 ratio).
  • The concurrent group underwent simultaneous thoracoscopic epicardial ablation (EA) and CA.
  • The staged group had EA first, followed by CA if AF recurred.

Main Results:

  • Freedom from AF/atrial tachycardia (AT) off antiarrhythmic drugs at 2 years was 79.9% (concurrent) vs. 86.0% (staged) (P=0.390).
  • Intraprocedural AF termination rates were 86.5% (concurrent) and 90.4% (staged).
  • Failure to terminate AF during the procedure was an independent risk factor for recurrence (HR: 14.378).

Conclusions:

  • Both concurrent and staged hybrid ablation are safe and effective for treating LSPAF.
  • Higher intraprocedural AF termination rates correlate with better long-term outcomes.
