Study PopulationSixteen patients, male and female, aged ≥18 years, qualified for mitral heart valve surgery with documented (in at least one ECG recording) co-occurrence of paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) will undergo the procedure with the medical device.
There is also a prediction of 10 per cent of patients (screen failure) who do not meet the inclusion and/or exclusion criteria after signing informed consent.
Additionally, there may be perioperative situations where the cryoablation procedure is not performed due to potential acute aortic dissection or undiagnosed conditions necessitating a change in surgical tactics (e.g. pericarditis). It is estimated that the above situation may affect 1-2 study participants who will be given drop-out status.
