How much does the cost of minimally invasive atrial fibrillation surgery?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me approximately how much the cost of a minimally invasive atrial fibrillation surgery is?

Doctor's answer:

For patients who experience recurrent atrial fibrillation, radiofrequency ablation can be performed. After radiofrequency ablation, patients can fully restore sinus rhythm. However, the recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation is very high after radiofrequency ablation. The reasons for recurrent atrial fibrillation are complex, mainly due to recurrent re-entry. These behaviors cannot be completely ablated in one session. The causes of recurrent atrial fibrillation are several, with the most common being hypertension, heart valve disease, coronary heart disease, etc.
