Hybrid surgical-catheter ablation is a specialized procedure used to treat certain cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation (AF). It combines two approaches: surgical ablation and catheter ablation, to provide a more comprehensive treatment.
During hybrid surgical-catheter ablation, a multidisciplinary team of cardiac surgeons and electrophysiologists work together to perform the procedure. The goal is to create a more effective and durable treatment for complex arrhythmias.
