Strategies and technology related to catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) continue to advance since its inception nearly 20 years ago. Broader selections of patients are now offered ablation with a similar level of procedural outcome and safety standards. It is hoped that improved understanding of the pathophysiologic processes of the initiation and maintenance of AF will refine target selection during ablation and improve long-term procedural efficacy, particularly in patients with persistent and long-standing persistent AF.
自近20年前首次开展以来，与心房颤动（AF）导管消融相关的策略和技术一直在不断发展。现在，更多患者能够接受消融治疗，且手术结果和安全标准相近。人们希望，对AF起始和维持的病理生理过程有更深入的了解，将有助于在消融过程中优化靶点选择，并提高长期手术疗效，尤其是对于持续性和长期持续性AF患者。
