Abstract：Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common persistent arrhythmia. Studies have shown that AF is triggered or driven by the superior vena cava in parts of patients, and superior vena cava isolation proves to be an effective therapy for this type of AF. This article reviews the anatomy of the superior vena cava, the mechanism of AF originated from the superior vena cava, electrophysiological characteristics, ablation and prevention of complications.
