Catheter ablation procedure involves advancing several flexible catheters into the patient's blood vessels, usually either in the femoral vein, internal jugular vein, or subclavian vein. The catheters are then advanced towards the heart. The catheters have electrodes at the tips that can measure the electrical signals from the heart.
Cryoablation is used in two types of intervention for the treatment of arrhythmias: (1) catheter-based procedures and (2) surgical operations. A catheter is a very thin tube that is inserted into a vein in the patient’s leg and threaded to the heart where it delivers energy to treat the patient’s arrhythmia.
Pulmonary vein isolation ablation technology has used thermal methods (radiofrequency ablation or, less often, cryoablation) to destroy pulmonary vein cells. [5] As with thermal methods of ablation, in pulsed field ablation, a thin, flexible tube ( catheter ) is inserted into a blood vessel in the groin and threaded up into the heart to ablate ...

Symplicity HTN-1 [3] looked at outcomes in 153 patients that underwent catheter-based renal denervation. Three-year follow-up data have demonstrated an average blood pressure reduction of -33/-19mm Hg. Symplicity HTN-2 was a randomized, [2] controlled trial that compared 54 control patients with 52 patients who underwent catheter-based renal ...
Embolization is a process in which the interventional radiologist accesses the culprit bleeding vessel via a small catheter and interrupts blood flow to the site of bleeding via various mechanisms. Side effects of this procedure are minimal but there is a risk of bleeding and infection—though much less than the equivalent surgical procedure.
Cryotherapy, sometimes known as cold therapy, is the local or general use of low temperatures in medical therapy.Cryotherapy can be used in many ways, including whole body exposure for therapeutic health benefits or may be used locally to treat a variety of tissue lesions.
Cryosurgery (with cryo from the Ancient Greek κρύο ' icy cold ') is the use of extreme cold in surgery to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue; [1] thus, it is the surgical application of cryoablation. Cryosurgery has been historically used to treat a number of diseases and disorders, especially a variety of benign and malignant skin ...
