Résumé
Thoracoscopic atrial fibrillation ablation seeks to replicate the electrophysiological effects of more invasive, open surgical procedures. The authors present a lesion concept that includes isolation of the pulmonary veins, the left atrial posterior wall, and the superior vena cava, respectively, lines to inhibit perimitral and periauricular flutter circuits, and left atrial appendage closure. All lesions are tested for bidirectional block.
