The closed chest convergent procedure is a multidisciplinary approach to atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment. Epicardial posterior left atrial (PLA) ablation is performed by a cardiac surgeon using a transdiaphragmatic endoscope, immediately followed by percutaneous pulmonary vein (PV) isolation performed by a cardiac electrophysiologist. Interim outcomes for the treatment of non-paroxysmal AF (NPAF) were evaluated based on peri-procedural safety and complications, freedom from recurrent AF, and need for cardioversion or repeat catheter ablation at three, six and 12 months post-procedure. A total of 43 patients (86 % NPAF) underwent the convergent procedure. Patients were 84 % male, with mean age 58.6 ± 8.7 years. Mean AF duration was 45.4 ± 40.3 months. Pre-procedure left atrium (LA) volumetric data using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) was available for 30 patients (70 %). Average LA volume was 155.5 ± 48.4 millilitres (ml); two-thirds of patients had a LA volume >130 ml. There was no operative or peri-operative mortality. Sinus rhythm (SR) was recorded at three months in 31 of 39 (79 %) patients, at six months in 24 of 27 (89 %) patients and at 12 months in nine patients. The convergent procedure is a safe and effective option for both PV isolation and PLA substrate ablation in NPAF patients. Long-term follow-up is required and randomised clinical trials warranted.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.
