Radiofrequency ablation has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for Barrett's esophagus. The balloon-based radiofrequency procedure was invented by Robert A. Ganz, Roger Stern and Brian Zelickson in 1999 (System and Method for Treating Abnormal Tissue in the Human Esophagus).
Balloon-based radiofrequency ablation, invented by Ganz, Stern, and Zelickson in 1999, is a new treatment modality for the treatment of Barrett's esophagus and dysplasia and has been the subject of numerous published clinical trials.
Covidien Introduces New Barrx™ RF Ablation Catheter for Treating Barrett's Esophagus. Barrx™ Channel RFA Endoscopic Catheter eliminates need for multiple endoscope introductions; also offers ...
Often treatment for esophageal inlet patch is not necessary. However, when symptoms occur, treatment may consist of ablation. [1] Ablation may be performed with argon plasma coagulation or radiofrequency ablation. [1] When performed by an experienced physician, side effects from ablation appear to be negligible. [1]

Stretta is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) that delivers radiofrequency energy in the form of electromagnetic waves through electrodes at the end of a catheter to the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and the gastric cardia – the region of the stomach just below the LES.
Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radio-frequency energy or other sources to terminate or modify a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the heart of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Electro-ablation, is a process that removes material from a metallic workpiece to reduce surface roughness. Electro-ablation breaks through highly resistive oxide surfaces, such as those found on titanium and other exotic metals and alloys without melting the underlying non-oxidised metal or alloy. This allows very quick surface finishing
