Catheter-based or surgical procedures in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF) remain a challenge. As a result, different approaches including hybrid (surgical and endocardial) ablation have been developed. Bachmann's bundle (BB) is a mainly epicardial structure capable of sustaining arrhythmic reentry that could be involved in the development and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation. We investigated the efficacy and safety of an adjunctive BB ablation in LSPAF patients undergoing hybrid ablation.
