A New Operation (Selected Pilot Study)
Two circular incisions were performed in the left atrial wall between the pulmonary veins and the mitral annulus. with those two incisions, circumferential resection of a strip for the left atrial was obtained. The middle of pulmonary vein island was longitudinal plicated and the left appendage was ligated. Finally,the plicated pulmonary island was directly anastomosed to the lest side free wall, inferior wall, roof, the posterior walls of both superior and inferior vein cavae, and intra-atrial septum. Left atrial geometric volume reduction, pulmonary veins island isolation and left appendage ligation (Selected): Two circular incisions were performed in the left atrial wall between the pulmonary veins and the mitral annulus. with those two incisions, circumferential resection of a strip for the left atrial was obtained.

Timeframe: 1 hour after operation

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technology is used in most cardiovascular surgeries. These surgeries utilize CPB, which has been associated with some adverse effects. This is most likely due to exposure of blood to abnormal surfaces and conditions leading to systemic inflammatory responses. Prolonged CPB duration is associated with worse clinical outcomes.

Two circular incisions were performed in the left atrial wall between the pulmonary veins and the mitral annulus. with those two incisions, circumferential resection of a strip for the left atrial was obtained. The middle of pulmonary vein island was longitudinal plicated and the left appendage was ligated. Finally,the plicated pulmonary island was directly anastomosed to the lest side free wall, inferior wall, roof, the posterior walls of both superior and inferior vein cavae, and intra-atrial septum.

Measure
A New Operation (Selected Pilot Study)
n=20 participants at risk
Two circular incisions were performed in the left atrial wall between the pulmonary veins and the mitral annulus. with those two incisions, circumferential resection of a strip for the left atrial was obtained. The middle of pulmonary vein island was longitudinal plicated and the left appendage was ligated. Finally,the plicated pulmonary island was directly anastomosed to the lest side free wall, inferior wall, roof, the posterior walls of both superior and inferior vein cavae, and intra-atrial septum. Left atrial geometric volume reduction, pulmonary veins island isolation and left appendage ligation (Selected): Two circular incisions were performed in the left atrial wall between the pulmonary veins and the mitral annulus. with those two incisions, circumferential resection of a strip for the left atrial was obtained.
