Five years after surgery, the actuarial proportion of patients with recurrence of atrial fibrillation arising in the corridor was 8%\u00b1 5%, with new atrial arrhythmias consisting of atrial flutter and atrial tachycardia in the corridor 27%\u00b1 8%, and with incompetent sinus node requiring pacing therapy 13%\u00b1 6%. Right atrial transport was preserved in 69% of the patients without recurrence of atrial fibrillation and normal sinus node function. Stroke was documented in two patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> Corridor surgery for atrial fibrillation is a transient or palliative treatment instead of a definitive therapy for drug refractory atrial fibrillation. This observation strongly affects patient selection for this intervention and constitutes a word of caution for other, non\u2010pharmacologic interventions for drug refractory atrial fibrillation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8167.1997.tb00618.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,20]],"date-time":"2007-04-20T15:02:29Z","timestamp":1177081349000},"page":"967-973","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Long\u2010Term Follow\u2010Up of Corridor Operation for Lone Atrial Fibrillation:"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"NORBERT M.","family":"van HEMEL","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JO J.A.M.","family":"DEFAUW","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G\u00c9RARD M.","family":"GUIRAUDON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JOHANNES C.","family":"KELDER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"EMILE R.","family":"JESSURUN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JEF M.P.G.","family":"ERNST","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1540","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1981.03310400022019","article-title":"Mortality in an insured population with atrial fibrillation","volume":"245","author":"Gajewski J","year":"1981","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198204293061703"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198709103171104"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(10)61774-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198201283060402"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(19)37762-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-4975(92)90075-F"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","first-page":"220","article-title":"Combined sino\u2010atrial mode atrioventricular isolation: A surgical alternative to His bundle ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation","volume":"72","author":"Guiraudon GM","year":"1985","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0735-1097(91)90881-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-4975(92)90312-R"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/hrt.71.2.170"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_2","first-page":"406","article-title":"The surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation, II.
