This is actually some really state of the art treatment for Atrial fibrillation
Beyond simply saving him multiple procedures there is a benefit of information that
Dr. Wehr can provide from the surgical aspect, electrical information that I can provide
with the catheter aspect, and using that information together we can get better results then either
one of us could do. Doing a hybrid procedure allows us several things that Dr. MIkaelian
outlined one thing that is very important is what he does is he will make his own set
of these lesions or create a scar in a different area of the heart that I can’t access surgically.
Then I will do my part and we will have a more complete more likely to be hundred percent
successful result for the patient. The second thing that is very nice is he will insert
a different sensing catheter so I will be more confident that my part the surgical part
has been a hundred percent successful when were done. The third very important thing
is that at we are collaborating two different medical specialties to really increase the
power of the procedure that we perform and it will much better for the patients this
collaborative approach is going to be very valuable down the line.
