Key result
Surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation has evolved to include various clinically successful procedures, such as minimally invasive and hybrid approaches, to eliminate AF and AF-related stroke.
Why the study?
Surgical treatment of AF has evolved significantly, creating a need to review current options including minimally invasive and hybrid procedures.
This review provides an overview of current surgical options for atrial fibrillation, including minimally invasive and hybrid procedures, to assist clinicians in understanding available treatments.
Clinicians now have multiple surgical AF options including hybrid approaches; leaves open optimal selection pending comparative trials.
The surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved significantly over the last 20 years and even more so in the last 5 years. There are now many clinically successful surgical procedures focused on eliminating AF and AF-related stroke. This review discusses the current types of surgical AF procedures, including minimally invasive and hybrid, and may assist clinicians in understanding the various surgical AF options available to patients today.
