Atrial fibrillation(AF) is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance in clinical practice,increasing in prevalence with age.Curative treatment of AF with catheter ablation is now a legitimate option for a number of patients.The dominant ablation for AF mainly concentrates on pulmonary veins(PVs) or complex fragment atrial electrograms(CFAEs).However,the optimal approach for ablation of AF aroused some controversy.The bulk of the evidence suggests that the intrinsic cardiac autonomic nervous system may contribute to the formation of rapid firing from the PV sites or non-PV sites and CFAEs,and play a critical role in the initiation and maintenance of AF.We hypothesized that ganglionated plexi may be an ideal strategy for AF ablation.
