Initial experience with the convergent procedure for longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation: A 5 year dataset [PDF]

Data in Brief, 2020
In patients with longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), outcomes from catheter ablation remain suboptimal. The convergent procedure combines minimally invasive surgical ablation with subsequent catheter ablation, and may contribute towards ...

Perioperative management and postoperative complications after robotic-assisted convergent procedure for persistent atrial fibrillation: A case series

JCA Advances
The Convergent Procedure for the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation has been in use since 2009. This procedure combines epicardial ablation, performed via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and the surgical clipping of the left atrial ...
