FIRST EXPERIENCE OF PROLONGED PERSISTENT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION ELIMINATION WITH THORACOSCOPIC RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION APPLICATION

Abstract

In the present article we describe a clinical case demonstrating our first application of thoracoscopic radiofrequency ablation with vacuum technology Estech Cobra Fusion in a patient, 46, with prolonged persistent atrial fibrillation. We discussed actual questions, performance and showed efficiency of thoracoscopic technologies for atrial fibrillation on a beating heart.
