Risk of neurologic events after surgery for mitral valve insufficiency and concomitant Cox-maze IV procedure for atrial fibrillation. A nationwide register-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Analysis of the long-term risks of ischaemic stroke and cerebral bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation after mitral valve surgery and concomitant Cox-maze IV procedure.

Methods

In total, 397 patients with symptomatic degenerative mitral valve insuffciency and atrial fibrillation, underwent mitral valve surgery and Cox-maze IV in Sweden between 2009 and 2017. In this retrospective nationwide analysis, patients were followed in national patient registers until 30 September 2022.

Results

There were 4 deaths within 30 days (1.0%). Mean follow-up was 8.7 (0.1-13.4) years. Survival without ischaemic stroke or cerebral haemorrhage at 5 and 10 years were 90% and 74%, respectively. Nineteen patients experienced an ischaemic stroke, of which 4 were fatal. Fiv
