A patient with chronic atrial fibrillation experiencedcerebral infarction followed by renal infarction. Weemployed the radial incision approach, a new surgicaltechnique for atrial fibrillation, and succeeded ineliminating the thrombus and fibrillation. The patientwas a 62-year-old female who was diagnosed as havinglone atrial fibrillation, which the patient had neglected.Three months later, the patient was hospitalized forcerebral infarction, from which she recovered followingmedical treatment without any after effects. However,ultrasonography conducted at that time revealed athrombus in the left atrial appendage, so anticoagulanttherapy with Warfarin was initiated. Four months later,the patient was hospitalized again for left renal infarc-tion. While the left kidney had lost all functions, thefunction of the right kidney remained normal and thepatient was conservatively followed up by observation.With respect to atrial fibrillation, the administration ofWarfarin did not prevent recurrence of the embolism. Athrombus was detected again in the left atrial append-age upon re-hospitalization. Surgery was indicated andthe radial incision approach was performed. Theapproach succeeded in eliminating the thrombus andfibrillation. The new approach, compared with the con-ventional Maze method, is a simpler technique andpreserves the atrial contraction capacity postoperatively.The new technique is expected to become a new surgicaltreatment for atrial fibrillation.
