NCT ID NCT02630914
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a single hybrid procedure that combines keyhole surgery with a catheter-based approach to treat complex atrial fibrillation (AF) in 12 patients. The goal was to see if this combined method could completely isolate the abnormal electrical signals in the heart. The approach aims to improve success rates and reduce the need for repeat hospital visits.
