Closed atrium bipolar radiofrequency box lesion for concomitant surgical atrial fibrillation ablation

Closed atrium bipolar radiofrequency box lesion for concomitant surgical atrial fibrillation ablation

BackgroundIn patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or aortic valve replacement (AVR), many surgeons are reluctant to open the left atrium for surgical ablation. However, especially in those with persistent AF, a box lesion isolating the entire poste...
