Abstract: The absence of strategies to consistently and effectively address non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) by nonpharmacologic interventions has represented a longstanding treatment gap. A combined epicardial/endocardial ablation strategy, the hybrid Convergent procedure, was developed in response… read more here.
