Atrial Fibrillation |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Case-Only, Prospective |
Official Title: | Prospective Analysis of the Wolf Minimaze Procedure for Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation |
Estimated Enrollment: | 47 |
Study Start Date: | March 2007 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 2008 |
Patients who are undergoing or who have undergone minimally invasive surgery for atrial fibrillation will be followed prospectively. At 6 to 9 months, 1 and two years post surgery follow-up subjects will receive a trans-telephonic monitor to wear for approximately 1 month, and will submit transmissions on a daily basis. Episodes of atrial fibrillation will be documented during this time. The overall efficacy of the procedure will be assessed based on the freedom from atrial fibrillation at the time of transtelephonic monitoring.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 85 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Eligible subjects will be male or females age 18-85 that have elected to undergo or have undergone a minimally invasive "minimaze" surgery for the treatment of atrial firillation
