A Hybrid Procedure for Atrial Fibrillation Using Total Thoracoscopic Ablation and Post-Procedural Electrophysiological Confirmation of Ablation Lines

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic arrhythmia in the world, and it is associated with an increased long-term risk of stroke, heart failure, and all-cause mortality. To overcome the limitations of transvenous radiofrequency (RF) ablation for AF, total thoracoscopic ablation (TTA) has...

description Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic arrhythmia in the world, and it is associated with an increased long-term risk of stroke, heart failure, and all-cause mortality. To overcome the limitations of transvenous radiofrequency (RF) ablation for AF, total thoracoscopic ablation (TTA) has evolved as a new technique. TTA has several advantages over transvenous RF ablation and is known to produce better outcomes, especially in patients with persistent AF. Herein, we report 2 cases of successful TTA followed by an electrophysiological study confirming satisfactory ablation lines; the first such procedure reported in Korea.
