Abstract:
Atrial fibrillation, also known as atrial fibrillation, is a common cardiac arrhythmia, and its incidence increases with age. Catheter ablation is considered to be an effective means to treat atrial fibrillation and maintain sinus rhythm. The common ablation technologies are radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation. However, the existing catheter ablation technology has a "zero-sum effect", and it is difficult to control the optimal dose clinically. In this study, a new method of pulsed electric field ablation for atrial fibrillation was proposed, which effectively solved the "zero-sum effect" problem of temperature ablation. The clinical application results show that the proposed technology effectively overcomes the shortcomings of existing temperature ablation, and can form durable pulmonary vein isolation.
