Hybrid surgical ablation of persistent and long-standing persistent AFib is a feasible procedure with encouraging results, with a two-year success rate of 92% without antiarrhythmic drugs, but needing redo procedures for AT in half of cases. Considering the rate of potentially severe complications, ...
Hybrid ablation superior for persistent AFib: CEASE-AFKeller, Daniel M.Cardiology News
After 18 months of follow-up, freedom from any AF recurrence after a single ablation procedure occurred in 89.7% of patients undergoing PVI plus LAA excision and 87.2% with PVI alone (hazard ratio [HR] 0.79;P=0.61). These results held across all secondary outcomes, and complication rates wer...
A method and apparatus of aiding a physician in locating an area to perform an ablation on patients with atrial fibrillation (AFIB) includes receiving data at a machine, from at least one device, the data including information relating to a desired location for performing an ablation, generating...

The rate of conversion to sinus rhythm during ablation was higher in the CBA arm (OR = 2.33, 95% CI [1.41-3.87], P=0.001).Conclusions: Cryoablation is a safe and effective alternative to RFA in patients with persistent AF.doi:10.1161/circ.144.suppl_1.12646Senthil S Balasubramanian...
Electrical cardioversion (ECV) remains the most cost-effective and safest method for the acute restoration of sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with atrial fibrillation (Afib). However, ECV is unsuccessful in at least 25% of cases, particularly in those with long-standing persistent atrial ...
Purpose: Persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in the United States, poses substantial health hazards, such as the formation of blood clots, stroke, and heart failure. Despite available therapies such as ablation and antiarrhythmic drugs, there still is ...
However, it is insufficient to maintain sinus rhythm (SR) in persistent and long persistent atrial fibrillation (Per-AFib). Ablation of complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) is currently classified as class IIb, However, the concept of length of potential was different between the current...
