Summary

Previous evidence indicated that the outcomes of both video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical ablation and percutaneous radiofrequency ablation therapy for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) were unsatisfied. Recently, hybrid ablation therapy for AF had encouraging outcomes. However, there were no randomized, controlled clinical studies to prove the effectiveness of this new strategy. This study is aimed to compare the outcomes of hybrid ablation with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical ablation for persistent AF with enlarged left atrium.

Detailed description
