Outcomes of hybrid surgical ablation and concomitant left atrial appendage exclusion in long‐standing persistent atrial fibrillation
Concomitant hybrid convergent ablation and LAA exclusion with an atrial clip provides reasonable long-term AF-free survival in patients with LSPAF. Persistent posterior wall activity is seen commonly in patients presenting with recurrent AF following hybrid convergent AF ablation.
