Persistent AF is best treated by cardiac surgery and electrophysiology working together, not apart. See how we classify candidates for hybrid ablation, why its essential and hear from the clinicians already running these programmes.
previously failed catheter ablations (CA)
de novo ablation, access route problems (IVC, ASD occluder, Cava filter)
de novo ablation, high risk for recurrence after CA (HCM, long-standing per)
de novo, persistent/long-standing pers., staged approach with surgical first and CA second (4-6 weeks), including LAAO, VOM + Remapping, CTI, ILR.
No single approach can fully address complex atrial fibrillation.
By combining surgical access with electrophysiological insight, CS/EP collaboration enables more complete treatment — reducing the need for repeat procedures and improving the likelihood of durable success.
