Staged transthoracic approach to persistent atrial fibrillation (TOP-AF): study protocol for a randomized trial
BACKGROUND: Persistent atrial fibrillation frequently shows multiple different electrophysiological mechanisms of induction. This heterogeneity causes a low success rate of single procedures of ablation and a high incidence of recurrence. Surgical ablation through bilateral thoracotomy demonstrates...
