Hybrid Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: A Contemporary Overview [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Electrical isolation of pulmonary veins (PVI) is the cornerstone of invasive treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, arrhythmia-free survival of a PVI only approach is suboptimal in patients with persistent and long-term persistent AF.

Hybrid Ablation of Nonparoxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: The Convergent and Totally Thoracoscopic Approaches [PDF]

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Nonparoxysmal atrial fibrillation continues to challenge electrophysiologist and surgeons alike. Stand-alone endocardial catheter ablation has resulted in less than satisfying results, and while the on-pump Cox-Maze surgery has excellent results, the ...

Hybrid ablation of persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation with depressed ejection fraction: A single-center observational studyCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]

JTCVS Open, 2022
Objective: The relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with depressed ejection fraction (EF) is complex. AF-related tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy (TMC) can lead to worsening EF and clinical heart failure.

Hybrid ablation for atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta-analysisCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]

JTCVS Open, 2021
Background: Both catheter and surgical ablation strategies offer effective treatments of atrial fibrillation (AF). The hybrid (joint surgical and catheter) ablation for AF is an emerging rhythm control strategy.

Hybrid ablation in a patient with atypical atrial flutter originating from a left atrial appendage aneurysm: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Left atrial appendage (LAA) aneurysm is a rare structural abnormality that can predispose to significant complications, including systemic embolism and complex supraventricular arrhythmias.
