CardiaMend in Combination with Amiodarone

The first three patient will receive 600 mg amiodarone into the intact pericardial space. Amiodarone serum levels will be tested at post operative days 2 and 6. The study will only proceed if there is a serum amiodarone level less than 25% of the normal therapeutic level. This should insure lack of systemic toxicity. After the first 3 patients have demonstrated low amiodarone blood levels, a total of up to 60 patients will be enrolled in the study. The CardiaMend patch will saturated per the instructions and be sutured into place. Amiodarone will be dripped directly over the heart.
