(ANSA) - TURIN, 29 JUN - A revolutionary operation to treat atrial fibrillation was performed at the Mauritian hospital in Turin, to reduce the risk of stroke.
A 56-year-old patient underwent an operation at the Mauritian hospital that combined for the first time in the world two techniques: an ablation (the cancellation of electrical pathways) of both traditional atrial fibrillation and through the external, epicardial surface of the heart , using a minimally invasive non-surgical approach, associated with an external epicardial, but non-surgical ligation of the left auricle (hollow extension of the atrium).
