Abstract

Background: Atrial fibrillation is one of the most prevalent of all arrhythmias and in up to 79% of the patients with mitral valve disease. This study examined whether the atrial fibrillation that occur in patients with mitral valve operation could be eliminated by a concommitant maze operation without cryoablation. Material and Method: From May 1997 to April 1998, 14 patients with atrial fibrillation associated with mitral valve disease underwent Maze III operation without cryoablation. Preoperatively there were 6 men and 8 women with an average age of 46.2${\pm}$10.7 years. Eleven patients had mitral stenosis, and three had mitral insufficiency. The associated heart diseases were aortic valve disease in 4, tricuspid valve regurgitation in 1 and ASD in 2. Using transthoracic echocardiography, the mean left atrial diameters was 54.7${\pm}$5.3 mm and thrombi were found in the left atrium of 2 patients. Postoperatively the ratio between the peak speed of the early filling wave and that of the atrial contraction wave (A/E ratio) was determined from transmitral flow measurement. Operations were mitral valve replacement in 13 including 4 aortic valve replacements, 1 DeVega annuloplasty and 2 ASD closures. Maze III operation was performed in 1 patient. Result: Five patients (38%) had recurred atrial fibrillation, which was reversed with flecainide or amiodarone at the average time of postoperative 38.8${\pm}$23.5 days. Postoperative complications were postoperative transient junctional rhythm in 6, transient atrial fibrillation in 5, reoperation for bleeding in 3, postpericardiotomy syndrome(1), unilateral vocal cord palsy(1), postoperative psychosis(1), and myocardial infarction(1). Postoperatively A/E ratio was 0.43${\pm}$0.22 and A wave found in 9(64%) patients. 3 to 14 months postoperatively (average follow- up, 8.1 months), all of patients had normal sinus rhythm and 9(64%) patients had left atrial contraction and 11(79%) patients were not on a regimen of antiarrhythmic medication. Conclusion: We conclude that Maze III operation without cryoablation is an effective surgical treatment in atrial fibrillation associated with the mitral valve disease.

배경: 심방세동은 모든 부정맥중에서 가장 흔하고 승모판질환을 가진 환자의 79%를 차지한다. 이 연구에서는 승모판 수술을 시행하는 환자의 심방세동이 냉동절제 없이 시행한 Maze 술식으로 제거되는지를 관찰하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1997년 5월에서 1998년 4월까지 승모판 질환과 심방세동이 있는 14명의 환자에서 냉동절제 없이 Maze III 술식을 시행하였다. 남자는 6례, 여자는 8례였고, 평균 나이는 46.2$\pm$10.7세 였다. 승모판막 협착증 11례, 그리고 승모판막 폐쇄부전 3례였다. 동반 질환으로 대동맥판막 질환 4례, 삼첨판막 폐쇄부전이 1례, 그리고 심방중격결손증이 2례였다. 경흉적 심초음파 검사상 좌심방의 평균 크기는 54.7$\pm$5.3 mm였고, 좌심방내에서 혈전이 관찰된 경우는 2례였다. 수술후 심초음파 검사상 승모판막을 통과하는 혈류를 측정함으로써 초기 충전파의 최고 속도와 심방수축파의 최고 속도 사이의 비(A/E ratio)를 계산하였다. 수술은 대동맥판막 치환술 4례, DeVega 판륜성형술 1례, 그리고 심방중격결손 폐쇄술 2례를 동반하여 승모판막 치환술을 13례에서 시행하였고, 나머지 1례는 Maze III 술식만 시행하였다. 결과: 5례(38%)의 경우에서 일시적인 심방세동이 재발하였고, 수술후 평균 38.8$\pm$23.5일에 flecainide 또는 amiodarone의 투여로 정상동방결절율동으로 전환되었다. 수술후 합병증은 일시적인 접합부율동 6례, 일시적인 심방세동 5례, 출혈로 인한 재수술 3례, , 술후 심막절개증후군 1례, 편측 성대마비 1례, 정신증 1례, 그리고 심근경색이 1례였다. 수술후 A/E비는 0.43$\pm$0.22였고, A파가 9(64%)례에서 양성이었다. 수술후 3개월에서 14개월(평균 추적관찰, 8.1개월)동안 14례에서 모두 정상 동방결절율동으로 전환되었고, 9례(64%)에서 좌심방의 수축을 관찰할수 있었으며, 11례(79%)에서는 항부정맥제를 투여하지 않고 있다. 결론: Maze III 술식에서 냉동절제를 시행하지 않더라도 승모판막 질환과 동반된 심방세동에 효과적인 수술임을 알 수 있었다.
