Artificial-intelligence electrocardiography and computed tomography mapping to guide surgical ablation of ventricular arrhythmiasCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]

JTCVS Open
Objective: Surgical arrhythmia ablation is challenging as a result of arrhythmia induction and mapping limitations in the operating room. We hypothesized that a novel preoperative workflow involving artificial intelligence (AI) electrocardiographic (ECG)

Long-Term Outcomes of Surgical Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

JACC: Asia, 2021
Background: The lesion sets for surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) that provide optimal outcomes have remained controversial. Objectives: We evaluated the effects of left-atrial (LA) ablation of AF compared with bi-atrial (BA) ablation on the ...

Stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Thoracoscopic left atrial appendage closure with or without surgical ablationCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]

JTCVS Techniques
Objectives: Totally thoracoscopic left atrial appendage closure (TT-LAAC) with or without the MAZE procedure is an LAA management technique that prevents cardioembolic events by closing the LAA in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
