Using bibliometric analysis, this study attempted to provide an overview of the current state of research and key findings regarding the relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF) and cryoballoons in general. We gathered the literature from the Web of Science (WOS) database covering the last 11 years (2013-2024) pertaining to AF and cryoballoons, and we used Citespace to evaluate the mapping of knowledge. The findings demonstrated that there were 1986 articles concerning AF and cryoballoons, with a faster growth after 2018. The United States, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and Chierchia, Gian-Battista are the nation, organization, and writer with the highest number of publications. Kuck KH (2016) is the most frequently mentioned reference as well (488). We know that Vrije Universiteit Brusse in the Belgium has emerged as 1 of this discipline's leading research forces based on a 10-year bibliometric investigation. Prominent universities and developed nations form the finest alliances for research on cryoballoons and AF.
本研究采用文献计量分析方法，旨在概述目前关于心房颤动（AF）与冷冻球囊的研究现状和主要发现。我们从 Web of Science（WOS）数据库中收集了过去 11 年（2013-2024 年）关于 AF 和冷冻球囊的文献，并使用 Citespace 评估知识图谱的绘制。研究结果表明，共有 1986 篇关于 AF 和冷冻球囊的文章，2018 年后增长速度加快。美国、布鲁塞尔自由大学和 Chierchia，Gian-Battista 是发文数量最多的国家、组织和作者。Kuck KH（2016）也是被引频次最高的文献（488 次）。通过对 10 年的文献计量学研究分析，我们发现比利时布鲁塞尔自由大学已经成为该学科的主要研究力量之一。在冷冻球囊和 AF 的研究方面，知名高校和发达国家形成了最佳的合作联盟。
