Abstract

Objective The maze procedure is recognized as the most effective surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation. In the last few years, new surgical ablation techniques were developed involving the left atrium only and modifications of the maze procedure in ablating both atria. For this study, we evaluated the evidence regarding the effectiveness of the surgical ablation procedures (biatrial and left atrial) in reducing postoperative atrial fibrillation and subsequent survival.Methods MEDLINE was searched for English-language studies using the terms "maze," "atrial fibrillation," and "surgical treatment" for 1995 through August 2005. Primary outcomes of interest were postoperative survival and postoperative freedom from atrial fibrillation. Survival data were collected at 1-, 2-, and 3-year intervals. Freedom from atrial fibrillation was collected at 3 months and at 1-, 2-, and 3-year intervals.Results Sixty-nine studies were included in this analysis. Five thousand eight hundred eighty-five total patients were involved. Patients undergoing surgical ablation (range, 90.4-85.4) demonstrated significantly greater rates of freedom from atrial fibrillation compared with those seen in control patients (range, 47.2-60.9). Survival rates among patients with biatrial surgical procedures (range, 94.9-92.8) were similar to those who had left atrial procedures only (range, 93.9-89.4). However, patients undergoing biatrial ablation (range, 92.0-87.1 vs 86.1-73.4) demonstrated superior freedom from atrial fibrillation at all time points.Conclusion Biatrial ablation surgical procedures were more effective in controlling atrial fibrillation than procedures confined to the left atrium. To encourage the use of future meta-analysis within the surgical literature, we suggest the more frequent reporting of either through Kaplan-Meier survival analyses and the reporting of rates for specific time intervals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
