Hybrid convergent ablation has been shown to have superior efficacy compared to endocardial\u2010only ablation. However, data on concomitant left atrial appendage (LAA) management along with hybrid ablation is sparse.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of concomitant hybrid convergent ablation and LAA clipping in patients with LSPAF. We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients with LSPAF who underwent hybrid surgical ablation with LAA clipping at our institution. The primary endpoint was a recurrence of atrial arrhythmias at 12 months. Further, the durability of surgical left atrial posterior wall ablation was examined during the endocardial catheter ablation using standing electrophysiological criteria.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 79 patients were included. Mean age was 63.5\u2009\u00b1\u20099.6 years, and 71% were males. LAA clipping was performed in 99% of patients. The mean time between the surgical and endocardial stages of the procedure was 2.6\u2009\u00b1\u20091.7 months. Persistent posterior wall activity was observed in 34.2% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200927\/79) patients during the endocardial phase of the procedure. Cardiac implantable electronic device was used in 74% of patients for monitoring of recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF). The primary effectiveness of AF freedom at 12 months was 73.8% (45\/61). Over a 12\u2010month follow\u2010up period, 11.4% (9\/79) of patients required repeat catheter ablation, of which 88.9% (8\/9) had evidence of persistent posterior wall activity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Concomitant hybrid convergent ablation and LAA exclusion with an atrial clip provides reasonable long\u2010term AF\u2010free survival in patients with LSPAF.
