  • Title: Right atrial separation for chronic atrial fibrillation with atrial septal defects.
    Author: Sueda T, Okada K, Hirai S, Orihashi K, Nagata H, Matsuura Y.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1997 Aug; 64(2):541-2. PubMed ID: 9262612.
    Abstract:
    A right atrial separation procedure was performed for the ablation of atrial fibrillation during the concomitant repair of an atrial septal defect. This procedure consisted of a Y-shaped incision in the right atrium, followed by cryoablation of the tricuspid annulus and the atrial septum without any procedures performed on the left atrium. This is a simple and effective method for the elimination of chronic atrial fibrillation associated with atrial septal defects in adults.
