  2. Catheter ablation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

    After 12 months, participants receiving catheter ablation were more likely to be free of atrial fibrillation, and less likely to need cardioversion. However, the evidence quality ranged from moderate to very low [ 4 ] A 2006 study, including both paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, found that the success rates are 28% for single ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiofrequency_ablation

    Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AF_ablation

    Concomitant AF surgery is more likely to lead to the person being free from atrial fibrillation and off medications long-term after surgery and Cox-Maze IV procedure is the gold standard treatment. There is a slightly increased risk of needing a pacemaker following the procedure.

  5. Pulsed field ablation - Wikipedia

    A major reason for recurrence of atrial fibrillation after ablation has been the belief of electrical pulmonary vein reconnection, which has not been seen for PFA. [7] In one study, atrial fibrillation recurrence in the thermal ablation group was 39% compared to 11% in the PFA group. [8]

  6. Minimaze procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimaze_procedure

    James Cox, MD, and associates developed the "maze" or "Cox maze" procedure, an "open-heart" cardiac surgery procedure intended to eliminate atrial fibrillation, and performed the first one in 1987. [1] "Maze" refers to the series of incisions arranged in a maze-like pattern in the atria. The intention was to eliminate AF by using incisional ...
