Enhanced Precision in the Convergent Procedure for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Using Real‐Time Intraoperative 3D Electrophysiological Mapping

ABSTRACT Real‐time intraoperative electrophysiological mapping significantly enhances the precision and efficiency of ablations in epicardial ablation (Convergent procedure) for persistent atrial fibrillation. This novel approach improves patient outcomes by enabling targeted ablation of affected ti...

description ABSTRACT Real‐time intraoperative electrophysiological mapping significantly enhances the precision and efficiency of ablations in epicardial ablation (Convergent procedure) for persistent atrial fibrillation. This novel approach improves patient outcomes by enabling targeted ablation of affected tissues, reducing unnecessary burns, and ensuring discharge in sinus rhythm, as we demonstrate.
