• History of left atrial ablation or cardiac surgery (including left atrial appendage closure)
• Implantation of permanent pacemaker, biventricular pacemaker, loop recorder/insertable cardiac monitor (ICM), or any type of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (with or without biventricular pacing function)
• Contraindications to anticoagulation, or history of coagulation or bleeding abnormalities
• Severe pulmonary disease: severe pulmonary arterial hypertension or any pulmonary disease with severe dyspnea involving blood gas abnormalities
• History of malignant tumor or expected life expectancy < 12 months
• Mental disorders or history of mental illness with inability to cooperate independently
• Acute or severe systemic infection, or significant abnormalities in liver/renal function

Laborértékek

• Any of the following cardiac surgeries, implants, or conditions:
  • Prosthetic heart valve
  • NYHA Class III or IV congestive heart failure, or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40%
  • Atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect closure
  • Atrial myxoma, left atrial appendage device implantation or occlusion

Egyéb

• Patients undergoing retreatment after ablation for rapid atrial tachyarrhythmias
• Patients with sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation
• Left atrial anteroposterior diameter > 55 mm
• Lactating, pregnant, or women planning or potentially becoming pregnant
• Participation in other interventional clinical trials, or ineligibility for enrollment as judged by the investigator

• Aged between 18 and 75 years (inclusive), regardless of gender 2. Diagnosed with symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). The patient's medical records document that the duration of AF episodes exceeds 7 days or the patient has a history of persistent AF, and meets **any one** of the following criteria:
• A 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram (Holter) recorded within 365 days prior to enrollment shows AF throughout the monitoring period.
• Two electrocardiograms (ECGs) obtained at an interval of more than 7 days within 365 days prior to enrollment both demonstrate AF.
• Poor response to treatment with at least one class I or class III antiarrhythmic drug (AAD), or intolerance to class I or class III AADs.
• Willing to participate in the trial, comply with the follow-up requirements specified in the protocol, and sign the informed consent form.
