The inability to achieve durable pulmonary vein isolation remains a major limitation to catheter ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). In this review, we discuss the research performed over the past decade investigating methods to improve lesion permanence for the goal of durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Investigations evaluating procedural techniques, adjunctive pharmacologic therapy, and newer energy sources designed to improve ablation lesion permanence are discussed.
无法实现持久的肺静脉隔离仍然是导管消融治疗心房颤动（AF）的主要限制。在本综述中，我们讨论了过去十年中为实现持久肺静脉隔离（PVI）这一目标而进行的关于改进消融灶持久性方法的研究。文中讨论了评估手术技术、辅助药物治疗以及旨在提高消融灶持久性的新型能量源的研究。
