2. Catheter ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

   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.

3. Radiofrequency ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiofrequency_ablation

   Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz).

4. Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paroxysmal_supra...

   Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is a safe and effective treatment in both adults and children. [22] RFCA is considered a minimally invasive procedure rather than surgery. It does not involve making large incisions or opening up the chest cavity.

5. Alcohol septal ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_septal_ablation

   Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is a minimally invasive heart procedure to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). [1]It is a percutaneous, minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional cardiologist to relieve symptoms and improve functional status in eligible patients with severely symptomatic HCM who meet strict clinical, anatomic and physiologic selection criteria.

6. Pulsed field ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_field_ablation

   Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a non-thermal (not using extreme heat or cold) method of biological ablation (removal of structure or functionality) utilizing high-amplitude pulsed (microsecond duration) electric fields to create irreversible electroporation in tissues. [1] [2] It is used most widely to treat tumors or cardiac arrhythmias. [3]

7. Electrophysiology study - Wikipedia

   More severe but relatively rare complications include: damage or trauma to a blood vessel, which could require repair; infection from the skin puncture or from the catheter itself; cardiac perforation, causing blood to leak into the sac around the heart and compromising the heart's pumping action, requiring removal using a needle under the ...
