Curious about hybrid ablation for atrial fibrillation—and how it compares to catheter-based or surgical-only procedures? In this video, Dr. Scott Lee, a board-certified cardiac electrophysiologist, breaks down the full story behind hybrid ablation: what it is, when it’s used, and why it may not always deliver the results patients expect.

Dr. Lee walks you through the evolution of AFib treatment, including early ablation techniques, the classic Cox Maze procedure, and today’s hybrid methods that combine surgical and catheter-based approaches. If you're facing persistent or long-standing AFib, this video will help you understand your true options—and the questions you must ask your doctor.
