Abstract Compared with traditional ablation procedures, high power short duration (HPSD) ablation significantly shortens the operation time, discharge time and fluoroscopy time, and reduces the incidence of periprocedural complications. HPSD ablation could not only maintain a high surgical success rate, but also would not increase the incidence of serious complications such as esophageal injury. It is characterized by high efficiency, high safety and low operation difficulty. In recent years, very high power short duration (vHPSD) ablation (90 W, 4 s) has been gradually introduced into clinical diagnosis and treatment, preliminarily showing its high safety and efficacy. With the development of new procedural methods and wide application of hybrid procedure, HPSD ablation may become the main means of rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation. This article reviews the clinical application and related progress of HPSD ablation.
