pubmed:abstractText |
Although an increasing number of symptomatic patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are being treated with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, the actual long-term success rate of this procedure remains uncertain. The increasing availability of minimally invasive techniques has made surgery progressively more appealing, especially because of its superior capacity to create transmural lesions.
