Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Conditions
Keywords
PFA, PeAF, PFA/RF
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to treatment of patients with persistent atrial fibrillation with PFA/RFA. 10 patients will be treated by PFA/RFA catheter or PFA catheter only. Participants will followed 1、3 month after catheter ablation
Interventions
This study will be used two catheters, the contact force sensing catheter able to deliver both RF and PFA energy, this catheter provides both the radiofrequency (RF) energy and pulsed field ablation (PFA) energy to the catheter through the toggling of the two energy sources on the generator monitor. Another catheter is PFA catheter only.

Patients who have other conditions that the investigator considers inappropriate for participation in this trial.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Immediate success rate | 1 Day of catheter ablation | Refers to the proportion of the number of subjects electrically isolated in each AF patient after surgery to the total number of subjects enrolled. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ablation success at 3-month after the catheter ablation | 3 months | Ablation success is defined as no recurrence with no anti-arrhythmic drugs by taking history of symptoms from the patient and by Holter 24 Hours. |
