Abstract

Bilateral pulmonary vein isolation along with amputation of the left atrial appendage has become a well-recognized technique for the management of atrial fibrillation. We describe our multidisciplinary approach to minimally invasive bilateral pulmonary vein isolation, left atrial appendage resection, and ablation of autonomic ganglia.
