BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive off-pump pulmonary vein isolation to cure paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) may be an alternative to percutaneous catheter-based procedures.
METHODS: Three patients with highly symptomatic lone PAF refractory to medical treatment and having undergone unsuccessful catheter-based ablation underwent pulmonary vein isolation using the Cardioblate BP device with a minimally invasive approach.
RESULTS: There were no complications and all patients were discharged in sinus rhythm. Mean ablation time per lesion was 15.2 sec and mean operation time was 118 min.
CONCLUSIONS: Irrigated bipolar radiofrequency ablation of the pulmonary veins is safe and can be performed off-pump in a minimally invasive manner.
