## TL;DR

The paper introduces a simplified method for treating atrial fibrillation without opening the left atrium.

## Contribution

A new technique for box lesion ablation using a standard non-irrigated bipolar clamp is presented.

## Key findings

- The technique avoids left atriotomy, simplifying the procedure.
- It uses a standard non-irrigated bipolar radiofrequency clamp effectively.

## Abstract

In this paper, the authors describe a simplified technique for concomitant left
atrial posterior box isolation for atrial fibrillation using a standard
non-irrigated bipolar radiofrequency clamp without opening the left atrium.
