Zusammenfassung:A 71-year-old man presented stable angina due to severe coronariophaty and chronic atrial fibrillation. A radial approach for atrial fibrillation and three coronary artery bypass grafts were performed without cardiopulmonary bypass. The procedure for the arrhythmia ablation was done epicardially with a multipolar radiofrequency catheter. Intraoperatively, the patient regained normal sinus rhythm, with an uneventful postoperative course. Postoperative echocardiography demonstrated the presence of an atrial A wave.
