Minimally invasive surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation.
Surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) can now be successfully performed utilizing minimally invasive techniques, as surgeon experience with these approaches has increased, and technologic advances in minimally invasive instrumentation have been made. Surgical management of atrial fibrillation, as well as our minimally invasive approach, will be discussed in depth.
