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.

   Using real-world data, researchers found that 81.6% of patients were free from AFib one year after RF-based ablation - a higher percentage than attained in clinical trials.

   The system, PulseSelect Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA), is used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), a condition that is characterized by an irregular rhythm of the heart. PFA is used for ...

   Finally, some patients may have a radiofrequency catheter ablation, where certain areas of tissue are destroyed such that the electrical signal doesn’t propagate any more. One type of procedure is the “maze procedure” where a maze of new pathways are created to help electrical impulses move in a more consistent and predictable pattern.

   These procedures are usually performed using intracardiac catheters (as are used during an electrophysiology study), fluoroscopy (a real-time X-ray camera), and electrical recordings from the inside of the heart. "Complex" ablations include ablation for arrhythmias such as multifocal atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular ...

   A major reason for recurrence of atrial fibrillation after ablation has been the belief of electrical pulmonary vein reconnection, which has not been seen for PFA. [7] In one study, atrial fibrillation recurrence in the thermal ablation group was 39% compared to 11% in the PFA group. [8]
