Introduction: Pulmonary veins isolation (PVI) is useful method in patients (pts) with mitral valve disease (MVD) and chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) during prosthetic valve implantation. The aim of the study: To evaluate e.ectiveness of PVI in the treatment of AF in pt with MVD during valve implantation. Material and methods: 45 pts (mean age 55 yrs) with AF were operated on for MVD.RF ablation around the pulmonary veins, a lesion between them and to the mitral annulus were performed. There were 44 prostheses implanted, 1 case of mitral valve annuloplasty, associated with tricuspid valve repair (5 pts), aorto-coronary bypass procedure (2 pts), ASD II closure (1 pt). Results: SR was achieved in 2 (44,5%) pts, 21 (46,5%)pts were in AF, 4 (9%) pts needed pacing. No correlation between SR restoration and preoperative echocardiographic parameters, age, gender, NYHA functional class were found. In long-term follow-up 1 pt have reversed AF to SR spontaneously. There were 6 cases of paroxysmal AF,1 pt needed pacemaker implantation. 20 (44,5%) pts are in SR, 20 (44,5%) in AF, 5 (11%) in permanent pacing. Conclusion: PVI with RF use is effective in restoring sinus rhythm in patients with chronic AF secondary to mitral valve disease.

In this paper we report the case of a nearly fatal hemorrhage in the artery of the renal upper pole that occurred in a 84-year-old woman on anticoagulation treatment in connection with aortic valve replacement 4 days prior to the incident. The artery was injured during the evacuation of a hematoma of the right pleural cavity. While the patient was in the intensive care unit recovering from cardiac valve surgery, the consulting urologist was summoned in order to cope with massive hematuria and acute urine retention. Unfortunately, conservative urological management based on catherization via a three-way catheter and constant transurethral lavage with saline was unsuccessful. Angio-computed tomography revealed a ruptured branch of the renal upper pole artery. A highly selective embolization using histoacryl injection during percutaneous angioplasty was performed. There were no complications in the following days. The patient was subject to postoperative follow-up at 3, 6 and 9 months and renal scintigraphy was performed at 6 months revealing symmetrical function of both kidneys without any changes in the upper pole of the right kidney.
