Radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation is performed in most hospitals in the cardiology department, where minimally invasive is an advantage. Cardiac surgery also performs maze procedures. The advantage is that the procedure is more effective than internal medicine.
At present, radiofrequency ablation surgery has become the first-line treatment option for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with obvious clinical manifestations and poor drug therapy because of its low trauma to patients and good therapeutic effect.
In addition, surgery has also carried out maze procedures in recent years, which can also be used to maintain sinus rhythm, and with the maturity of the technology, the success rate is also higher, and the therapeutic effect is better than that of internal medicine, but its disadvantage is that it is more invasive.
The choice of minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation or surgical maze surgery should be made according to the doctor’s instructions.
