Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Patients aged 40-80 years -Patients with atrial fibrillation documented by ECG or Holter who have not received catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. - Patients with COPD diagnosed according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Diagnostic Criteria 2021 (GOLD 90% in the four weeks prior to enrollment. - Agree to participate in the study and cooperate with the perioperative and follow-up requirements; patients sign an informed consent form for the study; and have good clinical compliance to fulfill the protocol requirements and follow-up requirements.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Prior treatment of atrial fibrillation with class I or III antiarrhythmic drugs, but the use of such drugs is allowed for less than 7 days in an attempt to reset the sinus rhythm of atrial fibrillation. -Presence of or potential for permanent pacemaker implantation within 12 months, with indications for pacemaker installation being severe bradycardia/atrioventricular block, myocardial contraction disorders, and arrhythmias. -Patients with contraindications to systemic anticoagulation with heparin or coumarin or direct thrombin inhibitors. - patients with left ear thromboembolism -Patients with LVEF <40%. - Patients with left atrial size = 55 mm (2D echocardiogram, parasternal long-axis view). -Patients with severe mitral regurgitation -Patients with allergy to contrast or iodine. - Patients with a history of previous cardiac surgery - Patients with reversible causes of atrial fibrillation (e.g., hyperthyroidism or alcoholism). -Patients with a life expectancy of <12 months, as measured by the patient's overall level of fitness, and who have a poor quality of life. - Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding -Patients with a first diagnosis of asthma or COPD overlap syndrome. - Patients with a first diagnosis of asthma or COPD overlap syndrome - Patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency as a cause of COPD - History of previous lung reduction surgery -In the opinion of the treating physician, there is a high likelihood that the potential participant will not adhere to the requirements of the study.
