I review the latest 2024 STS ACDS Update with a focus on the Afib section. I also, include a summary of the robotic-assisted left atrial appendage exclusion study by the group at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Listen to find out how much surgical ablation in CABG patients has improved since 2015!!!

I review an elegant RCT by the Bordeaux EP group, examining a comparison between B-PVI and the Marshall Plan in patients with non-paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation. Is this finally the RCT that shows that ablation beyond PVI is better than PVI ablation only? Listen to find out!
