Surgical Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Rheumatic Mitral Valve Lesion and Left Atrium Enlargement
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the safety and efficiency of surgical prevention of atrial fibrillation in patients with valvular heart disease and left atrium enlargement

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.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: without prevention isolated mitral valve replacement or reconstruction, implantation of cardiac monitor |
Device: cardiomonitor
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. |
Procedure: surgical prevention of atrial fibrillation
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.
Device: cardiomonitor
in both groups cardiac rhythm will be controlled by a cardiomonitor

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- composite outcome measure of complications [up to 1 year]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- number of participants with freedom from AF according to the long-term ECG monitoring [1 year]
- transport function of the left atrium according to TTE (transthoracic echo) [1 year]
