In-hospital complications of hybrid vs endocardial atrial fibrillation ablation
Hybrid AF ablation was associated with a significantly lower MACE rate compared with ECA, contrasting with earlier studies that suggested higher risk. This shift likely reflects improvements in technique and more refined patient selection. While rates of pulmonary and hemorrhagic complications were higher with hybrid ablation, transfusion needs remained similar between groups.
