SURGICAL TREATMENT OF CRITICAL AORTIC STENOSIS, THROMBOSIS OF LEFT ATRIUM AND ATRIAL FIBRILLATION WITHIN LOW EJECTION FRACTION OF LEFT VENTRICLE
Over the past 20 years, atrial fibrillation associated with aortic stenosis has become more common. The presence of at least one of the two pathologies by patient already significantly increases the risk of various cardiovascular events, causes decrease in overall survival and an increase in long-term mortality, and their combination increases these indicators to 75%. Now day there are data that show that the combined treatment of this pathology does not lead to complications, and long-term results show an increase in life expectancy and reduce long-term mortality. The presented clinical case demonstrates an example of successful surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation and critical aortic stenosis.
