2) Patients requiring electrode ablation because of persistent arrhythmia despite use of antiarrhythmic drugs for more than 6 weeks
3) Patients diagnosed with persistent atrial fibrillation after 2 consecutive electrocardiograms or 24-hour Holter test performed at least 1 week apart.
4) Patients who have been on anticoagulants for more than 6 weeks or have taken equivalent safety measures.
5) Patients with no evidence of intracardiac thrombus on transesophageal echocardiography or equivalent cardiac imaging (Cardiac CT) performed within 48 hours.
6) Patients who have made a voluntary decision to participate in this study and have given written informed consent.
7) Patients who are able to understand, follow instructions and participate for the full duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria

Patient whose Marshall vein was confirmed to be less than 1 mm in diameter and less than 15 mm in length through computed tomography (CT) or total venogram.
2) Patients who previously had atrial fibrillation ablation or Maze surgery
3) Patients with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome within 3 months or who have undergone a stenting procedure or coronary artery bypass grafting in a coronary artery proximal to the anticipated procedure route at the time of the study.
4) Patients with severe heart failure and those suffering from cardiogenic shock
5) Those who are with less than 40% emissions Those with less than 40% of the ejection fraction
6) Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

8) Patients with evidence of intra-atrial thrombus on imaging studies performed within 1 month of the procedure Patients with evidence of blood clots in the atrium on imaging tests performed within 1 month of the procedure.
