Abstract

Bilateral pulmonary vein isolation along with amputation of the left atrial appendage has become a well-recognized technique for the management of atrial fibrillation. We describe our multidisciplinary approach to minimally invasive bilateral pulmonary vein isolation, left atrial appendage resection, and ablation of autonomic ganglia.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
