9 Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) NSR Self-Limiting Episode of Atrial Fibrillation
10 Non-Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (N-PAF) Once an episode of AF is established and is being sustained by the macro-reentrant drivers, the triggers NSRhave nothing to do with the AF. Therefore, any temporary or limited benefit of a PVI or a Box Lesion for N-PAF is not due to isolation of the triggers. Persistent, L-S Persistent, or Permanent Episode of Atrial Fibrillation
11 Clinical Presentation of Atrial Fibrillation Stand-Alone AF Concomitant AF PAF Stand-Alone PAF Concomitant PAF 60% N-PAF Stand-Alone N-PAF Concomitant N-PAF 40% 97% 3%
12 Differences in Stand-Alone PAF and Concomitant PAF Stand-Alone PAF - There is no associated surgical heart disease - The etiology of most stand-alone AF is a mystery - Both atria are usually grossly normal Concomitant PAF - Secondary to Left-Heart Disease - Mitral valve disease - Aortic valve disease - Ischemic heart disease - LV cardiomyopathies - Heart Failure - Systemic Hypertension - The LA is almost always grossly abnormal - The RA may or may not be grossly abnormal
13 Location of Triggers in Stand-Alone PAF 90%
14 Location of Triggers in Concomitant PAF 70%
15 Location of Triggers in Concomitant PAF 10% 25% 20% 25% 20%
16 The Objectives of AF Surgery PAF N-PAF Paroxysmal AF Persistent AF Long-Standing Persistent AF Permanent AF
17 The Objectives of AF Surgery PAF N-PAF Paroxysmal AF Isolate the Triggers Persistent AF Long-Standing Persistent AF Permanent AF
