Abstract Aims   The evaluation of sinus rhythm preservation after surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation by left-atrial RFA in patients with mitral valve prosthetics. Materials and methods  A prospective, randomized study was performed in the interregional clinical and diagnostic center of Kazan in 2011-2018 which were included 136 patients with mitral valve pathology and persistent AF. The average age of patients was 57 ± 5, the gender division was dominated by female patients  and made up 97 (58.4%). All patients underwent either mitral valve prosthesis with mechanical prosthesis Meding-2 which made up 96 (70.5%) or biological prosthesis Carpantier-Edwards which made up 40 (29.4%). Radiofrequency isolation of the left atrium and pulmonary veins was performed by standard procedure by Cox-IV which doesn’t include the right atrium tissue. Results and discussion: In the early post surgical period, recovery of sinus rhythm was observed in 111 (81.6%) patients. Cardiac Pacemaker Implantation was performed in 1 (0.73%) case.  The results of the study were assessed after surgical treatment in 22 ± 5 months, the sinus rhythm was preserved in 99 patients from the study group and made up 72.7%. Conclusion Radiofrequency ablation  the left atrium provides long-term preservation of sinus rhythm in the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation and mitral valve pathology.

There are analyses the results of surgical treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease. Eighty patients were undergone CABG combined with epicardial radiofrequency ablation of anatomic zones ganglionic plexi of the left atrium using Cardioblate system. Combined procedure CABG and epicardial radiofrequency ablation anatomic zones ganglion plexi of the left atrium provides high frequency restore of sinus rhythm in patients with coronary artery disease with atrial fibrillation during the postoperative period.
