Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the September 2021 AFib Ablation Registry Monthly Case Scenario, a patient named Mr. Brown is admitted for an AFib Ablation procedure. It is revealed that he had a thoracoscopic ablation two months ago and is now receiving a catheter-based endocardial ablation as part of a hybrid convergent procedure. The current endocardial ablation is successful, utilizing strategies such as pulmonary vein isolation and focal ablation. The video then poses a question about how to capture the history of the thoracoscopic ablation procedure. The answer is that it should be captured as number four, surgical ablation. The video also explains the concept of the convergent procedure and the different approaches used in it.
