[Experience with the surgical treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders].

Abstract

The authors analyse the results of their 10 years experience of surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmia in 827 patients. Survival in the course of 3 years amounted to 73% of all the patients, in the course of a 5 year period--to 67%. The article presents experimental data substantiating the effectiveness of transvenous laser micro-transsection and cryoablation of atrioventricular connection and His-bundle in treating supraventricular tachycardias.
