      Valve Replacement].
PG  - 928-932
AB  - This is a 2-case report of concomitant left atrial( LA) surgical ablation through 
      the left atrial appendage( LAA) for atrial fibrillation( AF) during aortic valve 
      replacement( AVR). Case 1, a 74-year-old man, and Case 2, an 85-years-old woman, 
      were presented for AVR and AF. Under the cardio-pulmonary bypass, right and left 
      pulmonary vein isolations( PVIs) were performed with radiofrequency( RF) ablation 
      devices. Through the opened LAA, an RF lesion was placed to connect the bilateral 
      PVIs and the LAA, and another RF line was placed toward the mitral annulus. A 
      right atrial( RA) isthmus ablation was also performed through a RA incision. 
      Postoperatively, sinus rhythm and both RA and LA contraction were obtained, and 
      have been maintained for 7.5 and 5 years without classⅠ/Ⅲ antiarrhythmic drugs in 
      Case 1 and 2, respectively. This procedure is considered to be effective and 
      safe, although further study is needed.
