- Abstract
A 69-year-old male patient with a pacemaker, previous hypertension, myocardial infarction, and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) was referred for staged convergent hybrid ablation AF ablation. PFA is a novel ablation modality with high acute efficacy, fast ablation times, and tissue selectivity, which is especially important when ablating the PW thus sparing the esophagus [[2]]. During this procedure, epicardial surgical ablation of the left atrial (LA) posterior wall (PW) is performed followed by endocardial catheter ablation of the pulmonary veins (PV) and remaining PW gaps [[1]].
