CardiaMend: New Patch to Stop Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation?

https://www.HeartValveSurgery.com - One of the most common complications after heart surgery is atrial fibrillation (AFib), an irregular heartbeat that causes poor blood flow. Patients with AFib are 5 times more likely to have a stroke, according to the American Heart Association. To stop this dangerous post-operative complication, Dr. Robert Saeid Farivar, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Saint Alphonsus Heart Institute in Boise, Idaho, is leading an innovative clinical trial that uses the CardiaMend patch and Amiodarone in patients undergoing isolated heart valve surgery or isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). During this procedure, Dr. Farivar closes the pericardium with the CardiaMend patch soaked in Amiodarone, a medicine that minimizes atrial fibrillation. According to Dr. Farivar, "We have enrolled 24 patients to date with great results!"
