October 1, 2025
7:00 - 8:00 PM CT
This CME-accredited webinar will explore innovative hybrid strategies in atrial fibrillation (AF) management, focusing on pulsed field ablation (PFA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion. As treatment approaches for persistent and long-standing persistent AF (LSPAF) continue to evolve, this program will offer current insights into combining endocardial and epicardial techniques for improved outcomes.
Through expert-led presentations and a moderated panel discussion, attendees will gain clinically relevant knowledge to support decision-making in complex AF cases. Faculty will share real-world experience, evidence-based practices, and considerations for implementing hybrid strategies in daily cardiology and electrophysiology practice.
1. Understand the role of pulsed field ablation (PFA) in managing persistent and long-standing persistent AF.
2. Evaluate the clinical evidence and limitations of PFA in advanced atrial remodeling.
3. Discuss the relevance and potential benefits of epicardial ablation in the current landscape of AF treatment.
4. Explore new techniques for LAA exclusion using epicardial devices.
5. Assess the feasibility and rationale for combining PFA with LAA management in a hybrid approach.
6. Apply insights from expert-led discussions to enhance patient selection and treatment planning in complex AF cases.
