Sequential Hybrid Procedure for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Original language description
We investigated the sequential (staged) hybrid method, which consists of a surgical thoracoscopic radiofrequency ablation procedure followed by radiofrequency catheter ablation 6 to 8 weeks later using the CARTO 3 mapping system. Fifty consecutive patients (mean age 62+-7 years, 32 males) with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (41+-34 months) and a dilated left atrium (>45 mm) were included and prospectively followed in an unblinded registry. During the electrophysiological part of the study,all 4 pulmonary veins were found to be isolated in 36 (72%) patients and a complete boxlesion was confirmed in 14 (28%) patients. All gaps were successfully re-ablated. Twelve months after the completed hybrid ablation, 47 patients (94%) were in normalsinus rhythm (4 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation required propafenone and 1 patient underwent a redo catheter procedure). The majority of arrhythmias recurred during the first 3 months. Beyond 12 months, there were no arrhythm
