Clinical Application Value of Catheter Ablation Combined with Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia with high incidence in clinic. With the rapid development of medical technology, interventional therapy for non-valvular atrial fibrillation has gradually matured and been widely used in clinic in recent years. However, the long-term effect of patients after treatment is not ideal, which leads to a greater risk of stroke and heart failure. Catheter ablation is an effective means to restore and maintain sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation, but its effect in improving stroke needs to be improved. Left atrial appendage occlusion is a minimally invasive technique in clinic, which can replace anticoagulants in the treatment of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and effectively reduce the risk of stroke and bleeding. This thesis will review the development of catheter ablation combined with left atrial appendage occlusion in one-stop treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
