    Author: Murakami M, Okada H, Nishida M, Hamano K.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2006 Jun; 12(3):210-2. PubMed ID: 16823338.
    Abstract:
    We operated on 56 adults diagnosed with atrial septal defect (ASD) between 1990 and 2004. Of these, eight had complications of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the preoperative period. After 1998, right atrial separation was performed in four cases. Marked improvement was noted in three out of the four cases. The right atrial separation procedure was a simple, easy, and effective method for the treatment of chronic AF associated with ASD.
