Aim. To study the incidence and possible risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF) in the early postoperative period after transapical implantation of the first Russian aortic valve (TAP-AVI).Methods. The study included 118 patients after successful TAP-AVI. Patients with open aortic valve replacement due to dislocation of the prosthesis were excluded, as well as subjects with permanent AF and who died in the early postoperative period. The mean age of the patients was 71.1±4.9 years, body mass index 31.1±5.9 kg/m2 , males - 39.8%, hypertension was present in 93.2%, diabetes mellitus (DM) - in 27.9%, paroxysmal AF - in 12.7%, coronary artery disease (CAD) was in 56.7%, 8.4% were smokers. The median follow-up time corresponded to the hospital stay - 9.5 days. To identify cardiac arrhythmias, regular daily ECG recording in 12 leads was initiated from the first day after TAP-AVI. In the presence of palpitations, 24-hour ECG monitoring was performed. Indicators such as age, male gender, DM, history of AF, interatrial block before surgery, CAD, and echocardiographic parameters were studied as possible predictors of AF development in the early postoperative period after TAP-AVI. There were no significant differences in the baseline parameters in patients with AF paroxysms and sinus rhythm.Results. In the early postoperative period, AF was encountered in 46 (39%) of patients. New-onset AF occurred in 38 (32.2%) patients. No cerebrovascular event occurred in patients with post-surgery AF. The only statistically significant risk factor for AF in the postoperative period was CAD (OR 5.756; 95% CI 1.009-8.132; p = 0.048).Conclusion. In the early postoperative period, the only significant predictor of AF was the presence of documented CAD.

“…Specific complications of TAP-AVI include atrial fibrillation (AF) [3][4][5] and different conducting system disorders in the form of incomplete and complete left bundle branch block, up to a complete atrioventricular (AV) block, requiring the implantation of a permanent pacemaker [6,7].…”

“…В последнее десятилетие транскатетерное протезирование аортального клапана (ТПАК) зарекомендовало себя как альтернатива открытого протезирования АК у пациентов с высоким риском периоперационных осложнений [1,2]. К специфическим осложнениям ТПАК относятся нарушения ритма в виде фибрилляции предсердий (ФП) [3][4][5] и различные нарушения в проводящей системе сердца в виде неполных и полных блокад левой ножки пучка Гиса, вплоть до полной атриовентрикулярной (АВ) блокады, требующей имплантации постоянного электрокардиостимулятора [6,7]. Данные по частоте возникновения ФП в раннем послеоперационном периоде после ТАПК отечественного протеза «МедЛаб-КТ» в литературе отсутствуют.…”

Aim. To study the incidence and possible risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF) in the early postoperative period after transapical implantation of the first domestic aortic valve (TAVI) “MedLab-CT”.Material and methods. The study included 118 patients after successful TAVI. The study did not include patients with open aortic valve replacement due to dislocation of the prosthesis, with severe intraoperative complications leading to the death of the patient, and patients with permanent AF. The mean age of the patients was 71.1 ± 4.9 years, body mass index was 31.1 ± 5.9 kg/m2, men were 39.8%, hypertension was in 93.2%, diabetes mellitus (DM) was in 27.9%, paroxysmal AF was in 12.7%, coronary heart disease (CHD) was in 56.7%, smoking was noted in 8.4% cases. The median follow-up time corresponded to the hospital stay - 9.5 days. To identify cardiac arrhythmias, daily regular ECG recordings in 12 leads were assessed from the first day after TAVI. In the presence of palpitations, 24-hour ECG monitoring was performed. Indicators such as age, male gender, DM, history of AF, interatrial block before surgery, CHD, and echocardiographic parameters were studied as possible predictors of AF development in the early postoperative period after TAVI. There were no significant differences in the studied parameters in patients with AF paroxysms and sinus rhythm.Results. In the early postoperative period, AF episodess occurred in 46 (39%) patients. New-onset AF occurred in 38 (32.2%) patients. The only statistically significant risk factor for AF in the postoperative period in our series of observations was CHD (OR 5.756; 95% CI 1.009-8.132; p = 0.048).Conclusion. Patients with paroxysmal AF in the early postoperative period were not detected cerebrovascular events. In the early postoperative period, the only significant predictor of AF was the presence of proven CHD in patients.

Purpose. To assess the disorders of the cardiac conduction system (CCS) that occurred in the early postoperative period after aortic valve (AV) replacement by the Ozaki method.Methods. The study included 256 patients after a successfully performed Ozaki procedure. Patients with a history of open cardiac surgery, with an implanted pacemaker, with permanent atrial fibrillation, with simultaneous Ozaki surgery with correction of another pathology, in case of repeated surgery on AV in the next six months, with lethal outcome, under the age of 18 years, when it is impossible to analyze the CCS dynamics were excluded. The mean age was 57.9±11.1 years, the male sex was 119 people (46.5%), the body mass index was 29.7±5.5 kg/m2 , diabetes was observed in 40 patients (15.6%), anamnesis of CCS disorders in 10 (3.9%), CCS disorders on the baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) in 32 (12.5%). Conduction abnormalities were assessed according to the anamnesis and the results of daily ECG recording.Results. In the early postoperative period, CCS disorders were registered in 35 patients (13.7%), of whom 27 (10.6%) had their first occurrence, and 8 (3.1%) had previously existed. By the time of discharge, persistent CCS disorders (which occurred for the first time and in the case of progression of pre-existing blocks) remained in 11 (4.3%): 8 (3.1%) had bundle branch blocks, 3 (1.2%) had atrioventricular blocks that required implantation of a permanent pacemaker. Patients with pacemaker had initial conduction abnormalities. The most frequent dysfunction of the CСS was the left bundle branch block (LBBB) (45.5%). We analyzed 14 variables as predictors of the onset or progression of persistent CCS disorders. Two independent predictors were identified - the presence of conduction abnormalities on the baseline ECG and the time of cardiopulmonary bypass. In patients with persistent conduction disturbances in the postoperative period, CCS disorders on the baseline ECG were more common - 36.4% compared with patients without CCS disorders after surgery - 11.4% (p=0.035) and there was a longer duration of cardiopulmonary bypass 140.6±41.1 min. and 122.4±26.1 min. respectively (p=0.03).Conclusion. The most frequent disorder of the conduction was the LBBB. None of the first dysfunctions of CCS led to the implantation of the pacemaker. The presence of initial ECG conduction disturbances and the time of cardiopulmonary
