Overview
In this session, filmed at EHRA 2024 in Berlin, DE moderators Dr Hugh Calkins (Baltimore, US) and Prof Riyaz Kaba (London, UK) lead an international faculty comprising Prof Carlo de Asmundis (Brussels, BE), Dr Manuela Cireddu (Milan, IT) and Prof Claudio Tondo (Milan, IT) to discuss the endocardial approach to management of arrhythmias.
The faculty consider which patients may benefit from the hybrid approach (particularly in light of PFA), and review what the guidelines do and don’t say about hybrid ablation.
Support Statement
This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AtriCure, Inc.
Disclosure
In compliance with EBAC guidelines, all speakers/chairpersons participating in this programme have disclosed or indicated potential conflicts of interest which might cause a bias in the presentations. The Organising Committee/Course Director is responsible for ensuring that all potential conflicts of interest relevant to the event are declared to the audience prior to the CME activities.
Terms & Conditions
Radcliffe Education requires contributors to our CME programmes to disclose any relevant financial relationships that have occurred within the past 12 months that could create a conflict of interest. These will be identified in the faculty section if applicable.
The session, ‘Advanced Approaches to Combined Epicardial and Endocardial Strategies – From New Consensus to Practice’ is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC) for 1 hour of external CME credits.
Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational activity. EBAC works according to the quality standards of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).
Through an agreement between the European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EBAC External CME credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EBAC credit to AMA credit can be found on the AMA website.

Target Audience
- Electrophysiologists
- Cardiac surgeons
- Cardiologists
- Healthcare professionals
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify patient populations who may benefit from hybrid ablation
- Summarise the existing rationale and evidence for hybrid ablation beyond atrial fibrillation
- Understand how to integrate left atrial appendage exclusion in atrial ablation approaches
- Examine key aspects of new consensus recommendations for hybrid ablation
