The Cobra Adhere XL (Estech, San Ramon, CA, USA) is a multiple-electrode, temperature-controlled, monopolar radiofrequency probe with a vacuum-assisted stabilization system. We describe a new technique for epicardial ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement through right mini-thoracotomy.
