Minimally invasive ablation of atrial fibrillation is an option in patients not suitable for or refractory to catheter ablation. Total endoscopic ablation can be performed via a monolateral approach, whereby a left atrial box lesion is created. If the ablation is introduced from the right side, the positioning of the ablation catheter on the partly hidden left pulmonary veins is of vital importance. Using thoracoscopy in combination with multiplane transoesophageal echocardiography, the anatomical position of the ablation catheter can be established. Our experience in over 60 procedures has confirmed this to be a safe technique of total endoscopic ablation.
对于不适合导管消融或导管消融难治的患者,微创房颤消融是一种选择。完全内镜消融可通过单侧入路进行,由此创建左心房盒状病变。如果从右侧引入消融,则消融导管在部分隐匿的左肺静脉上的定位至关重要。结合胸腔镜检查与多平面经食管超声心动图,可以确定消融导管的解剖位置。我们超过60例手术的经验证实这是一种安全的完全内镜消融技术。
