Abstract
In a certain subset of patients, unsuccessful surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation may result in symptomatic atrial arrhythmia. If indicated, catheter ablation is a safe and effective intervention with a relatively high success rate. The combination of the two treatment modalities, catheter and surgical ablation, can improve the outcome even in complex patients.
