Description
Combination of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and epicardial pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is a less-invasive option to treat atrial fi brillation and coronary artery disease simultaneously. However, the exposure and clamping of the left PV on a beating heart are technically challenging. We here demonstrate technical tips to perform off-pump concomitant epicardial PV isolation easily using a tape through the transverse pericardial sinus
