The objective of this study was to define the predictive factors of atrial fibrillation in pure or very predominant mitral stenosis in a series of 472 consecutive patients divided into 2 groups according to the presence (group I: n = 113) or absence (group II: n = 359) of permanent atrial fibrillation. Univariate analysis showed that predictive factors for atrial fibrillation in mitral stenosis are age (40.3 +/- 9 years vs 31.4 +/- 9.5, p < 0.0001), history of commissurotomy or mitral angioplasty (13 cases vs 10, p < 0.01), functional class III or IV (36 cases vs 43, p < 0.01), history of valvular heart disease (8.4 +/- 7.3 years vs 6.4 +/- 9.2, p < 0.05), left atrial diameter (53.3 +/- 10.3 mm vs 46.5 +/- 8.5, p < 0.0001) and mitral surface area (1.1 +/- 0.4 cm2 vs 1.3 +/- 0.4, p < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, age and left atrial dilatation were independent predictive factors of atrial fibrillation in mitral stenosis.

Approximately one-third of patients with breast cancer have comorbidities at the time of their diagnosis. Recommendations for managing metastatic breast cancer are usually based on the results of clinical trials, which often limit patients with comorbidities. However, comorbidities greatly influence the quality of life, patient survival rate and treatment choice, particularly in older patients.

Purpose: In totally endoscopic off-pump left atrial appendage (LAA) closure and surgical ablation, securing the operative field is sometimes difficult in some patients because of a narrow working space caused by an elevated diaphragm or ventricles. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a method that facilitates securing the operative field using an artificial pneumothorax.
Methods: We analyzed 71 consecutive patients who underwent totally endoscopic off-pump LAA closure and bilateral pulmonary vein isolation.
