Effectiveness of the Early Staged Hybrid Approach for Treatment of Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation: the Electrophysiology Study Could Be Deferred?

The early staged hybrid procedure after thoracoscopic ablation could not improve the outcome of recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia. The second stage of electrophysiology study could be deferred to patients with recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia during follow up after totally thoracoscopic ablation.
