Abstract

Maze-like linear substrate modification in atrial fibrillation patients nonresponders to pulmonary vein isolation represents a feasible technique to gain left atrial appendage electrical isolation even in the presence of a Watchman occluder device.

Keywords: Maze‐like ablation; atrial fibrillation; cardiovascular disorder; left atrial appendage occluder.
