Why the study?
What are the success rates of hybrid management (minimally invasive beating heart surgery and transcatheter ablation) for the treatment of lone AF?
What are the success rates of hybrid management (minimally invasive beating heart surgery and transcatheter ablation) for the treatment of lone AF?
Hybrid ablation for lone AF demonstrates high success rates, particularly when utilizing bipolar radiofrequency energy for the epicardial surgical component.
Supports hybrid ablation consideration for lone AF; extends systematic evidence for bipolar radiofrequency efficacy.

Laurent Pison (2014) conducted an editorial in Lone atrial fibrillation (n=335). Hybrid thoracoscopic and transvenous catheter ablation was evaluated on Freedom from AF off antiarrhythmic drugs at 1-year follow-up.
