Current status and prospects of cryoballoon ablation in first-line treatment of atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice,and catheter ablation has become a first-line treatment strategy.Among them,cryoballoon ablation has become a standardized treatment for atrial fibrillation due to its advantages such as short surgical time,short learning curve,and minimal patient pain.Currently,a large amount of clinical practice and research have provided new evidence for cryoballoon ablation as a first-line treatment for atrial fibrillation.Therefore,this article provides a review of the current status of catheter ablation,the current status,challenges faced,and prospects as a first-line catheter ablation strategy for atrial fibrillation of cryoballoon ablation,with the aim of providing reference for cardiologists in clinical decision-making in the initial rhythm control of atrial fibrillation.
