We report the case of a 56-year-old female patient with biatrial recurrence of cardiac myxoma and extensive comorbidities. In the literature, only few cases of biatrial myxoma can be found and they generally describe a single tumor reaching both atria. We found two independently growing cardiac myxomas of both atria.

Radiofrequency and Cryoablation as Energy Sources in the Cox-Maze Procedure: A Meta-Analysis of Rhythm Outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of different energy sources used in the Cox-maze IV surgical procedure for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), specifically comparing bipolar radio-frequency (BRF), cryoenergy (Cryo), and a combination of both.
- Results indicate that patients who underwent cryoablation had significantly lower rates of AF recurrence after both 6 months (6.73% for Cryo) and 4 years (6.14% for Cryo) compared to those treated with BRF and the combined method.
- The findings suggest that cryoablation may lead to better long-term sinus rhythm restoration in patients undergoing AF ablation compared to bipolar radiofrequency ablation alone.

Background: Cardioneuroablation (CNA) treats reflex syncope by ablating ganglionated plexi (GPs) either confined to the right (RA) or left atrium (LA), or accessible from both. We assessed whether GP ablation in one atrium affects parasympathetic modulation in the other and how ablation sequence (RA then LA, or vice-versa) impacts efficacy.
Methods: Two propensity-matched groups of patients with reflex syncope or functional bradycardia were analyzed.

Today, the issue of atrial fibrillation recurrence after ablation is increasingly discussed in the literature. Many authors analyze the factors predicting success or failure of cryo-maze procedure. This review is devoted to predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence in long-term period after biatrial cryo-maze procedure.

Aim: To explore the safety and efficacy of a novel strategy (bi-atrial linear catheter ablation guided by electrophysiological mapping) for persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) treatment.
Methods: 83 patients with PeAF were enrolled for evaluation of ablation strategy. 43 patients were subjected to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) strategy (PVI group).

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of the lesion sets for surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation on long-term outcomes and identify the optimal lesion set.
Methods: Between 2005 and 2017, 1825 patients underwent surgical ablation concomitant to mitral valve surgery in the participating institutions. Of these, 529 underwent left atrial ablation, whereas the remainder had biatrial ablation.
