  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. Cox maze procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox_maze_procedure

    The Cox maze procedure, also known as maze procedure, is a type of heart surgery for atrial fibrillation. "Maze" refers to the series of incisions arranged in a maze -like pattern in the atria . Today, various methods of minimally invasive maze procedures, collectively named minimaze procedures , are used.

  4. Minimaze procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimaze_procedure

    Surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation with off-pump, epicardial, high-intensity focused ultrasound: Although the HIFU minimaze is performed epicardially, on the normally beating heart, it is also usually performed in conjunction with other cardiac surgery, and so would not be minimally invasive in those cases.

  5. Pulsed field ablation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_field_ablation

    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]

  6. 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).

  7. Clinical cardiac electrophysiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_cardiac...

    Ablation therapy is a catheter based ablation of lesions in the heart (with radiofrequency energy, cryotherapy (destructive freezing), microwave, or ultrasound energy) to cure or control arrhythmias (see radiofrequency ablation). Ablation is usually performed during the same procedure as the electrophysiology study during which arrhythmias are ...
