Research Article: Safety and Efficacy of Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Left Atrial Appendage Closure Combined Procedure and Half-Dose Rivaroxaban After Operation in Elderly Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia in older people because its prevalence rises dramatically as people age. Non-valvular AF is one of the most common types of AF, accounting for approximately .% of all AF. As the global population ages, the incidence and prevalence of AF continue to rise. The study found that older people (ie ? years) with AF accounted for .% of the total AF population in , but this is expected to rise to .% in . AF can lead to various long-term complications that can seriously affect patients’ quality of life and therefore require timely intervention and treatment. Catheter ablation is now the mainstay of clinical treatment for AF, particularly in patients who have failed or are intolerant to antiarrhythmic drug therapy., In addition, compared to radio-frequency catheter ablation, cryo-balloon ablation has the advantages of shorter procedure duration, better patient tolerance, and lower complication and adverse event rates.
