This is an open label, randomized parallel control clinical trial. Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation with severe atrial fibrosis are 1:1:1 randomized into group A (circumferential pulmonary vein isolation + linear ablation + bi-atrial mapping + driver ablation), group B (circumferential pulmonary vein isolation + linear ablation + posterior wall box isolation) and group C (circumferential pulmonary vein isolation + linear ablation + vein of Marshall ethanol infusion). Postoperative recurrence rate and other indicators are analyzed to demonstrate the role of driver mechanism in maintenance substrate of persistent atrial fibrillation with severe atrial fibrosis and evaluate the clinical outcomes of driver mapping and ablation strategy in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation with severe atrial fibrosis.
