Introduction Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the left atrium of the heart is increasingly used
to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). Unfortunately, inadvertent thermal injury to the esophagus can …

Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia. Hybrid convergent
ablation (HCA) is an emerging procedure for treating longstanding AF with promising …

Objectives Concomitant atrial fibrillation often goes untreated because of surgeon concerns
regarding lesion set complexity and pump times. We describe a new cryoablation procedure …

Objective Preoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) increases risk of stroke, heart failure, and all-
cause mortality after cardiac surgery. Despite encouraging results and guideline …

Simple Summary Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent sustained dysrhythmia, is
accountable for substantial mortality and morbidity. Accumulating convincing evidence …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is a frequent procedure used in concomitant cardiac surgery.
However, uncertainty still exists concerning the optimal extent of lesion sets. Hence, the …

Identification of sinus node dysfunction (SND) before termination of persistent AFL by
catheter ablation (CA) is challenging. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and …

Background Improved understanding of the mechanisms that sustain persistent and long-
standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSpAF) is essential for providing better ablation …
