Catheter, surgical, or hybrid procedure: what future for atrial fibrillation ablation?
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2021 Background The debate on the best treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF) has expanded following the introduction of the so-called “hybrid procedure” that combines minimally invasive epicardial ablation with endocardial catheter ablation. However,
