Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an open label, randomized parallel control clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of catheter ablation and surgical ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation with severe atrial fibrosis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open label, randomized parallel control clinical trial. Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation with severe atrial fibrosis are 1:1:1 randomized into the group A (circumferential pulmonary vein isolation + linear ablation + bi-atrial mapping + driver ablation), group B (circumferential pulmonary vein isolation + linear ablation + vein of Marshall ethanol infusion) and group C (surgical ablation). Postoperative recurrence rate and other indicators are analyzed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of catheter ablation and surgical ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation with severe atrial fibrosis.
