Surgical Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Rheumatic Mitral Valve Lesion and Left Atrium Enlargement

Pilot, Randomized,Single Blind Trial of Surgical Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Rheumatic Mitral Valve Lesion

This study evaluates the safety and efficiency of surgical prevention of atrial fibrillation in patients with valvular heart disease and left atrium enlargement

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Preservation or appearance of AF(atrial fibrillation) after mitral valve surgery substantially reduce the number of excellent and good results of the operation in the long-term period, causing circulatory insufficiency, increased pulmonary hypertension, increasing the risk of thromboembolic events and stroke.

Significant predictors of AF after surgery are the initial size of the left atrium more than 6.0 cm, stenotic lesions and rheumatic genesis of mitral defect. 80% of patients in this group had AF during the first year after operation.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Placebo Comparator: without prevention
isolated mitral valve replacement or reconstruction, implantation of cardiac monitor
in both groups cardiac rhythm will be controlled by a cardiomonitor
Active Comparator: group of prevention

mitral valve replacement or reconstruction with surgical prevention of AF (concomitant ablation of the left atrium) and implantation of cardiac monitor.

Prophylactic surgical ablation is performed to prevent AF in patients during mitral valve surgery. Ablation is performed by radiofrequency electrode or cryoprobe.

Prophylactic surgical ablation is performed to prevent AF in patients during mitral valve surgery. Ablation is performed by radiofrequency electrode or cryoprobe. Pulmonary veins, posterior wall of the left atrium will be isolated by the scheme box-lesion with additional lines to the mitral valve and appendage of left atrium.
