Clinical Trial Summary

Monocentric, prospective, randomized trial of cardiac surgical arrhythmia using endocardial radiofrequency atrial ablation compared with a cryo ablation system in the setting of cardiac surgery.

Description:

Regular, rhythmic monitoring (24-hour Holter ECG, 5 and 28 days, 3 and 6 months po) of patients after cardiac surgery on the mitral valve with atrial ablation for paroxysmal, persistent, and permanent atrial fibrillation with regard to the presence or stability of sinus rhythm.
