Mid term freedom from atrial fibrillation following hybrid ablation, a systematic review and meta analysis [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023
Introduction Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common tachyarrhythmia affecting 33 million people worldwide. Hybrid AF ablation utilises a surgical (epicardial) ablation followed by an endocardial catheter-based ablation.

Convergent Hybrid Ablation Versus Catheter Ablation in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure: HALT AF Study Protocol and Rationale for a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The coexistence of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction is associated with greater morbidity and death than either condition alone.

In-hospital complications of hybrid vs endocardial atrial fibrillation ablation

Heart Rhythm O2
Background: Hybrid atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has been used to achieve rhythm control in AF management. It requires both epicardial and endocardial ablation. There is limited evidence regarding the safety of this procedure.

Long-term outcomes of one-stop unilateral thoracoscopic hybrid ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation after failed catheter ablation [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Hybrid ablation is a treatment option for persistent (PsAF) or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LS-PsAF) after failed catheter ablation (CA), but long-term outcomes (> 5 years) and predictors of recurrence after hybrid ablation in

Evidence-based robust design of deflection actions for near Earth objects [PDF]

, 2012
This paper presents a novel approach to the robust design of deflection actions for Near Earth Objects (NEO). In particular, the case of deflection by means of Solar-pumped Laser ablation is studied here in detail. The basic idea behind Laser ablation is
