Its treatment is necessary due to symptoms affecting quality of life and higher incidence of cerebrovascular events. Invasive techniques are available for patients with AF resistant to medical treatment. Successful results of the pioneering maze procedure have open the era for development of more useful and safer alternative methods. Isolation of both left and right atria with energy sources such as radiofrequency offers new treatment options for AF.Keywords: Atrial fibrillation, ablation, radio frequencyTurkiye Klinikleri J Cardiovasc Surg-Spiecal Topics 2008, 1:34-39
