Arrhythmia recurrence in patients following cardiac surgery with concomitant therapy of atrial fibrillation - Experience of our cardiac center

In patients after cardiac surgery, catheterization performed to treat arrhythmia recurrence is a effective method of subsequent treatment, despite an extensive arrhythmogenic substrate. A rather large number of AT cases originate from the right atrium, in particular in patients after surgery for congenital heart defects. Patients with a significantly reduced signal in the larger part of the atrium due to an extensive arrhythmogenic substrate present the most complicated cases.
