New York Methodist Hospital cardiac surgeons and cardiologists offer a new hybrid ablation (scar-tissue forming) technique can help patients with the most persistent atrial fibrillation (“A-fib”) to recover a regular rhythm of the heart. Whereas normal heart tissue is able to conduct electrical impulses—even if that tissue is the source of the heart's electrical malfunction—scar tissue cannot. This is why precise ablation of certain epicardial (exterior) and endocardial (interior) heart tissue can create a new, working electrical pathway.
