Concomitant ablative therapy for atrial fibrillation can be effective at converting patients to normal sinus rhythm and at maintaining a regular rhythm for at least 5 years. We provide herein a comparison of an endocardial approach using Cryoablation with an epicardial approach using a suction-based RF ablation technology.
