Long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation remains a significant therapeutic challenge, often proving to be resistant to treatment with antiarrhythmic medications and transcatheter ablation. Hybrid ablation, which combines a minimally invasive surgical and transcatheter approach, is emerging as a promising treatment option. In this video tutorial, we demonstrate our method of hybrid ablation for long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation using advanced 3D electro-anatomical voltage mapping to guide the ablation process and thereby improve the ultimate effectiveness of the procedure.
