title: [Surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmia].
abstract: The data available in the literature show that application of indirect tools (sympathectomy, aortocoronary bypass, aneurysmectomy) provide good results in abolishing ventricular tachycardias approximately in 57% of cases. In this connection, quite a number of new so-called direct operations on arrhythmia substrates have been developed. These include circular endocardial ventricular resection, extensive fibrous endocardial resection, fibrous endocardial resection under the monitoring of beating heart mapping, cryo-, and laser exposures. The author has his own good results: the operative mortality is 12% in patients with coronary heart disease and ventricular tachycardias. Thus, the author's findings indicate that 5 years later 75% of the patients who had undergone a direct operation for ventricular tachycardia were alive.
