    Abstract A 57-year-old patient with a history of aortic and mitral mechanical valve replacement was admitted with recurrent implantable cardioverter device shocks and antitachycardia pacing therapies. On electrocardiogram, the clinical ventricular tachycardia (VT) was compatible with an antero-lateral peri-mitral basal exit. Because of the inability to access the left ventricle through a percutaneous approach, epicardial VT ablation was performed. The VT and a second VT, consistently induced and coming from the left ventricular apex, were successfully treated with epicardial cryoablation via median sternotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass.

    Abstract Thoracoscopic surgical ablation has evolved into a valid and effective treatment option, especially in patients with more persistent forms of atrial fibrillation. A significant part of this development is due to the capability of biparietal bipolar radiofrequency clamps to create long-lasting transmural lesions. To date, all commercially available bipolar clamps require a bilateral thoracoscopic approach. Here, we describe the surgical technique of a unilateral left-sided thoracoscopic approach for surgical atrial fibrillation ablation on the beating heart.

    Abstract Background: Stiff left atrial syndrome (SLAS) and pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion are rare yet potentially major life-long complications after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. While mostly controlled by medical management, SLAS can progress to refractory congestive heart failure. Treatment of PV stenosis and occlusion remains a challenging problem with ongoing risk for recurrence regardless of techniques employed. Herein we present the case of a now 51-year-old male with acquired PV occlusion and SLAS who, over the course of eleven years, despite multiple interventions, ultimately required heart transplantation.
    Case presentation: After undergoing three radiofrequency catheter procedures for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a hybrid ablation was planned due to reappearance of symptomatic AF. Preoperative echocardiography and chest computed tomography (CT) revealed an occlusion of both left PVs. Furthermore, left atrial dysfunction, high pulmonary artery and pulmonary wedge pressures were diagnosed as well as an important reduction of the left atrial volume. The diagnosis of stiff left atrial syndrome was made. Primary surgical repair of the left-sided PVs was performed using a pericardial patch as a tubular neo-vein, combined with cryoablation in the left and right atrium to treat the patient's arrhythmia. Initial results were favorable, however, after two years the patient experienced progressive restenosis with hemoptysis. Therefore, stenting of the common left PV was performed. Over the years, progressive right heart failure with severe tricuspid regurgitation developed, despite maximal medical therapy, which led to the need for heart transplantation.
    Conclusion: The impact of PV occlusion and SLAS after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation can be lifelong and devastating for the clinical course of the patient. Since the presence of a small left atrium could be an important predictor for SLAS in case of redo ablation, preprocedural imaging should guide the operator to an algorithm of a decision-making containing lesion set, energy source, and safety of re-ablation.

    Abstract Cardiac myxomas are the most common form of primary cardiac neoplasms. Although benign, they can be deleterious by causing embolic events and intracardiac obstruction. After complete surgical resection, the prognosis is excellent. Although isolated case reports performing video-assisted thoracotomy on the arrested heart have been published, median sternotomy with central cannulation remains the standard approach. We herein describe the case of a morbidly obese patient undergoing successful total resection of a left atrial myxoma using a completely thoracoscopic approach on the fibrillating heart.

    Abstract A 33-year-old woman with Sick Sinus Node syndrome and persistent atrial fibrillation underwent a Maze IV procedure in order treat atrial fibrillation and concomitant atrial epicardial implantation of a leadless pacemaker to manage her sinus node insufficiency. Last option has been chosen due to rare pocket complication after previous classic dual-chamber pacemaker implantation.

    Abstract A 38-year-old man with a diagnosis of Brugada syndrome had a recurrence of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia 6 years after successful epicardial right ventricular outflow tract ablation by the use of subxiphoid access. Preprocedural and intraprocedural investigations suggested that the pathologic substrate of the right ventricular outflow tract had not been eliminated completely. Therefore, the patient underwent a hybrid electrophysiology-guided video-assisted thoracoscopic ablation. (
