Cardiac Surgery EPS+RFA: The Ultimate Guide to Hybrid Ablation for Complex Arrhythmias Cardiac Surgery EPS+RFA: The Ultimate Guide to Hybrid Ablation for Complex Arrhythmias ✨ Executive Summary The field of cardiac rhythm management is rapidly evolving, with **Cardiac Surgery EPS+RFA** emerging as a highly effective, advanced treatment for complex and persistent arrhythmias, particularly Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Consequently, this approach, often termed “hybrid ablation,” strategically combines the precision of a surgical ablation (performed by a cardiac surgeon) with the meticulous electrical mapping and targeted correction of an Electrophysiology Study (EPS) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) (performed by an electrophysiologist). Specifically, this comprehensive guide demystifies this dual-team approach. It details the necessity of **Cardiac Surgery EPS+RFA** for patients who have failed traditional treatments, outlines the distinct benefits of combining epicardial (surgical) and endocardial (catheter) access, and provides a clear breakdown of the patient journey. Furthermore, we explore the latest authoritative data confirming superior
