While there is clear evidence for the superiority of catheter ablation compared to antiarrhythmic therapy, its relative efficacy compared with surgical ablation is not well established. Thus, this review aims to consolidate a number of smaller studies comparing transcatheter endocardial ablation with epic...
There is also much more data from patients who have undergone catheter vs surgical ablation for AF, and trials of surgical ablation have not consistently validated the electrical block. Not many trials have compared the two techniques in a rigorous way, Dixit noted. "Until there are compelling d...

PurposeTo compare findings in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation(AF) and/or atrial flutter(AFl) ablation after failed cut and sew (CS) vs. non-cut and sew (NCS) surgical maze.MethodsWe compared 10 patients with prior CS to 25 with prior NCS maze undergoing catheter ablation after failed...

open surgery. A robotic technique has also recently been employed to advance the existing “mini-maze” procedure. Finally, a hybrid approach can also be undertaken, usually involving a staged catheter ablation on the endocardium in the months following a surgical epicardial ablation operation (7)....
