Summary: this article focuses on ablation surgery for patients with atrial fibrillation,

although it also mentions that there is a new surgical procedure that focuses on
alternative energy sources to create conduction block lines such as the Cox-maze
technique. III.
The study mentions the use of endocardial electrophysiological mapping to be able
to review the pulmonary veins and the posterior left atrium, which are the most critical
anatomical site in people who have isolated atrial fibrillation.
Likewise, they made a review of energy sources used to create blocking lesions in
the cardiac tissue and thus be able to treat atrial fibrillation. Some of these energies
are: Microwave, radiofrequency, laser and cryothermy.
