Abstract
More Evidence for Isolation of the Left Atrial Free Wall During the Convergent Procedure in Atrial Fibrillation.
Highlights
The report by Nagarakanti et al.[1] in this issue of The Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management examines the role of posterior left atrial isolation during hybrid convergent procedure in seven patients
We previously examined the impact of posterior left atrial wall isolation on the restoration of sinus rhythm.[2]
Our examination of 57 patients with persistent or high-burden paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (27 convergent; 30 endocardial catheter-only) reconfirmed the difficulty in obtaining acute electrical isolation of the posterior LA (51.9% in convergent patients; 23.3% in catheter-only patients) and failed to prove a statistical benefit regarding the treatment of recurrent arrhythmias
