All
Age
18 Years to 80 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Age: 18-80 years old, gender not limited. 2. Comply with the current indications of atrial fibrillation catheter ablation guidelines (symptomatic, drug-resistant). 3. Preoperative transesophageal ultrasound was used to rule out thrombus in the left atrium. 4. Voluntarily participate in this study and sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.There is a history of cardiac surgery or a possibility of severe pericardial adhesion in the past. 2. Severe valvular heart disease, severe left atrial enlargement (anteroposterior diameter > 55mm). 3. Severe coagulation dysfunction (INR>1.5, platelet count <50×10^9/L). 4. Acute coronary syndrome or cardiogenic shock. 5. Pregnant and lactating women.
