2. Catheter ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

   Catheter ablation of most arrhythmias has a high success rate. Success rates for WPW syndrome have been as high as 95% [2] For Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), single procedure success is 91% to 96% (95% Confidence Interval) and multiple procedure success is 92% to 97% (95% Confidence Interval). [3]

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. Atrial flutter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_flutter

   Catheter ablation was considered to be a first-line treatment method for many people with typical atrial flutter due to its high rate of success (>90%) and low incidence of complications, [1] although pulsed field ablation now offers a non-thermal option. This is done in the cardiac electrophysiology lab by causing a ridge of scar tissue in the ...

5. Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff–Parkinson–White...

   Two main types of catheter ablation include radiofrequency ablation with heat or cryoablation with cold energy. [6] This procedure is performed by cardiac electrophysiologists and has high success rate in the hands of an experienced electrophysiologist. [26] Findings from 1994 indicate success rates of as high as 95% in people treated with ...

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. 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 ...
