Other Considerations for Hybrid Convergent Patient Selection
Recent studies have demonstrated that there are several clinical characteristics of patients who may benefit from Hybrid Convergent over AADs or endocardial ablation, absent an indication for a concomitant surgical ablation or contraindication. These include those with forms of advanced AF; patients in whom there is a desire to simultaneously manage the left atrial appendage (LAA)/Ligament of Marshall (LOM); patients who have failed prior catheter ablation; and others with specific considerations such as esophageal risk.
