Device: E-SeaLA, CardioPulse PFA system
First, pulmonary vein isolation(PVI) was performed with the novel hex spline PFA ablation catheter( CardioPulseTM PFA system, Hangzhou Dinova EP Technology Co., Ltd), then, pulsed field ablation and mechanical closure of the left atrial appendage were achieved by E-SeaLATM(Hangzhou Dinova EP Technology Co., Ltd) implantation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Technical success rate [immediately after the procedure]
Technical success means that the pulmonary vein and left atrial appendage(LAA) remain electrical isolation 20 minutes after ablation, and the per-device leaks≤ 3 mm after E-SeaLA LAA pulsed field ablation(PFA) occluder implantation.
- The incidence of major adverse events (MAEs) related to devices or procedures 3 months after procedure [within 3 months after procedure]
MAE includes death, myocardial infarction, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), pulmonary vein stenosis, phrenic nerve palsy, systemic embolism, pericarditis, pericardial effusion/cardiac tamponade, atrial esophageal fistula, severe vascular access complications, device migration, and device embolization.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Ablation efficiency including total procedure time, catheter dwell time, total ablation time and total X-ray exposure time [immediately after the procedure]
Total procedure time (defined as the total time from initial femoral venipuncture to final catheter removal), catheter dwell time (time between the pulsed field ablation catheter entering the left atrium and its withdrawal from the left atrium), total ablation time (including total PVI ablation time, total LAA ablation time), total X-ray exposure time (the total time of X-ray imaging of the catheter).
- Left atrial appendage closure rate 12 months after procedure [within 12 months after procedure]
after occlusion device implantation, no forward or reverse blood flow through the occluder confirmed by ultrasound, residual forward or reverse blood flow at the edge of the occluder ≤3mm, peri-device leaks ≥grade 3)
- Incidence of ischemic stroke within 12 months after procedure (event/patient-year). [within 12 months after procedure]
Ischemic stroke refers to the loss of neurological function caused by transient ischemic attack, cerebral thrombosis or cerebral embolism caused by the lesions of the brain itself and/or systemic blood circulation disorders leading to cerebral blood supply disorders. Ischemic stroke is defined as a modified Rankin score (mRS) ≥2 90 days after stroke onset.
