Overview

Under the expert moderation of Prof Harry Crijns (Maastricht, NL), a leading international faculty comprising Prof Carlo de Asmundis (Brussels, BE), Prof Mark La Meir (Brussels, BE) and Dr Ashley Nisbet (Bristol, UK) examine which arrhythmias could benefit from a hybrid approach, review the practical implementation of hybrid ablation in IST, and consider learnings from persistent and long-standing AF.

 

With the applications of hybrid ablation stretching beyond the traditional AF core, this insightful programme (recorded at EHRA 2023 in Barcelona) is both evidence-based and practical with case studies demonstrating real-world applications. The session also considers the knowledge and team composition requirements to enhance effectiveness when administering the hybrid procedure for optimal long-term patient outcomes.

 

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AtriCure, Inc.
