Hybrid atrial fibrillation ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation or failed catheter ablationDOI: 10.1007/s12471-019-1228-3 Keywords: Atrial fibrillation, Hybrid, Ablation, Thoracoscopic, Pulmonary vein isolation, Single-stage Abstract: Combined ‘hybrid’ thoracoscopic and percutaneous atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is a strategy used to treat AF in patients with therapy-resistant symptomatic AF. We aimed to study efficacy and safety of single-stage hybrid AF ablation in patients with symptomatic persistent AF, or paroxysmal AF with failed endocardial ablation, and assess determinants of success and quality of life
