Atrial fibrillation is the most frequently found sustained arrhythmia. It increases the risk of thromboembolism and adversely affects cardiac performance because of loss of atrial kick. New surgical treatments of atrial fibrillation have been developed to ablate the origin of abnormal impulses on the atrium. The left atrial isolation and the corridor operation restores the regular rhythm, but do not reduce the risk of thromboembolism because the left atrium may continue to fibrillate. The maze operation has proven to be effective in both converting to sinus rhythm and regaining atrial contractility. However, this method is meticulous and time-consuming and takes more cardiac ischemic time, especially when other cardiac procedures are performed simultaneously.

D001281 Atrial Fibrillation Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.
