Two patients with long-standing atrial fibrillation (AF) refractory to medical management and with prior pulmonary vein isolation underwent a new hybrid epicardial/endocardial subxyphoid approach for AF ablation and left atrial appendage (LAA) ligation. Pulmonary vein and LA posterior wall isolation, as well as LAA exclusion were achieved in both patients. There were no procedural complications. Both patients remain in sinus rhythm. Both patients are off antiarrhythmic medications.
