Correction to: Two-year follow-up of one-stage left unilateral thoracoscopic epicardial and transcatheter endocardial ablation for persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.

Owing to a type error during final correction and proof data submission to the journal, there were mistakes introduced into the legends of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 as well as into the Y-axis title of the plot of Fig.

Two-year follow-up of one-stage left unilateral thoracoscopic epicardial and transcatheter endocardial ablation for persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the efficacy and complication rates of a one-stage left unilateral thoracoscopic hybrid procedure in a series of patients with persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in a 2-year follow-up.

Methods: Fifty-one consecutive patients (34 males, 65.7 ± 8 years) having undergone hybrid isolation of pulmonary veins (PVs) and posterior wall of left atrium (LA) by means of left unilateral hybrid thoracoscopic ablation for symptomatic persistent (n = 22, 43%) and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) (n = 29, 57%) were analyzed.
