The long-term efficacy of surgical correction of @entity3153 was evaluated in 45 consecutive @entity1 . Before surgery, 42 @entity1 had reciprocating @entity591 and 12 had @entity955 . The principal operative procedure was endocardial incision in 42 @entity1 , endocardial cryoablation in 2 @entity1 and epicardial cryoablation without dissection of the atrioventricular (AV) fat pad in 1 @entity1 . Two @entity1 had perioperative complications. One @entity1 had @entity548 that necessitated reoperation, and one had a right @entity64 with subsequent clearing of @entity51 . At postoperative electrophysiologic study, only the @entity1 who underwent epicardial cryoablation had conduction over an accessory connection. Two others had intermittent delta waves in the early postoperative period but no accessory connection conduction at electrophysiologic study. During a mean follow-up of 3.1 years, the @entity1 with ineffective cryoablation had recurrent @entity591 , and one other @entity1 had late recurrence of delta waves without @entity943 . Four other @entity1 had frequent palpitation, which was caused by @entity1165 in one. Seventeen @entity1 had occasional "skipped beats" without recurrence of @entity591 . Twelve of 13 @entity1 whose @entity943 limited employment before surgery returned to work after surgery. By actuarial analysis at 1, 2 and 3 years, all @entity1 were alive and 98% were free from @entity591 . Surgical correction of @entity3153 provides excellent long-term results with low morbidity. @entity1 who are disabled by @entity943 return to work after successful surgery. Delta waves may persist or recur without return of @entity943 . Minor postoperative episodes of palpitation are common and do not correlate with @entity591 .
