Abstract:
With the in-depth research on the electrophysiological mechanism of atrial fibrillation(AF) and development of new mapping and ablation techniques, breakthroughs were frequently achieved in the surgical intervention for atrial fibrillation. From the complex Cox maze procedure to the left atrial maze procedure and radial maze procedure, the high successful rate and elimination of trauma have become the objective in the surgical intervention of atrial fibrillation. In this review we summarized the principle of all kinds of surgical procedures for atrial fibrillation and the application of new ablation technique for radical cure of AF and the effectiveness evaluation of these treatments.
