May aid risk stratification for surgical AF ablation; leaves open need for prospective validation before clinical use.
Surgical ablation procedures have been performed for almost 30 years. Several observational studies have investigated the variables associated with a ‘failure’ of surgical ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation (AF).
