"We have treated almost 60 patients with the Convergent Procedure to date and our results demonstrate that an epicardial-endocardial approach provides an effective treatment option for this challenging patient population, many of whom have failed endocardial-only ablation," said Murali Chiravuri, MD, PhD, of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Center at Bridgeport Hospital, Bridgeport, CT. "Our 93% long-term success rate is particularly impressive in these patients, most of whom had severely enlarged atria, up to 235 ml, and had suffered with AF on average for more than 5 years."
