摘要：

Surgical treatment of atrial. fibrillation recently gained new popularity since the introduction of different energy sources for ablative therapy as an alternative to the original "cut-and-sew" techniques. However, most of the cases have been performed together with other cardiac surgical procedures and mainly through a standard median sternotomy approach. We report here the first European case of closed-chest thoracoscopic pulmonary vein isolation in a patient with one paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. (c) 2005 The European Society of Cardiology.
