目的 应用CiteSpace和VOSviewer软件对心房颤动(房颤)外科消融透壁性研究的现状及热点进行可视化分析.方法 以Web of Science核心合集数据库为数据来源,利用CiteSpace 5.8.R3和VOSviewer软件对房颤外科消融透壁性相关研究的作者、国家/机构分布、文献共被引、关键词进行分析.结果 纳入109篇文章,发文量最高的作者是Damiano RJ,引文量最高的作者是CoxJL,美国是研究此领域的主要国家,华盛顿大学是房颤外科消融透壁性研究的重要机构.主要的研究热点包括:(1)房颤外科消融手术特别是迷宫手术的有效性;(2)关注外科消融的能量来源选择;(3)外科消融和导管消融相结合的疗效;(4)肺静脉隔离仍是房颤消融讨论的重点.结论 本研究直观地呈现了房颤外科消融的研究现状.如何提高房颤外科消融的有效性和透壁性是房颤外科治疗的研究热点.电生理标测和外科消融相结合可能是房颤外科治疗的发展方向.
Surgical transmural ablation of atrial fibrillation based on visualization analysis of CiteSpace and VOSviewer
Objective To analyze the current status and hotspots of surgical transmural ablation of atrial fibrillation using CiteSpace and VOSviewer.Methods The Web of Science Core Collection database was used as the data source.The CiteSpace 5.8.R3 and VOSviewer software were used to analyze the related studies on surgical transmural ablation of atrial fibrillation about the authors,countries/institutions,literature co-citation and keywords.Results A total of 109 articles were enrolled.Damiano RJ was the most prolific researcher,while Cox JL was the author with the highest number of citations.The United States was the leading country in this research field.The University of Washington was an important institution in the study of atrial fibrillation transmural ablation.The main hotpots were the effectiveness of surgical ablation,especially Cox-maze procedure,selection of the energy source of surgical ablation,combination of surgical and catheter ablations,and pulmonary vein isolation.Conclusion This study visualizes the current research status of surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation.How to improve the effectiveness and transmurality of surgical ablation is a hot research topic in the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation.The combination of electrophysiology mapping and surgical ablation may be the development direction in the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation.
