Radio Frequency Catheter Ablation Treatment
Radiofrequency catheter ablation treatment has automatically evolved over the past few decades. Ablation of idiopathic VT in the absence of structural heart disease is now well accepted as a secure and powerful procedure. In contrast, ablation of VT with underlying structural heart disease is more challenging, mainly because of the heterogeneous reentrant circuits involved and the location of the circuit deep inside the scar.
Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation is a procedure used to selectively destroy areas of the heart that are causing a heart rhythm problem. A thin, wire called a catheter is inserted into a vein or typically in the groin and/or neck. They are threaded up through the vein and into the heart. This procedure has been done successfully on patients ranging from 3 months of age all the way up to 97 years of age. Most procedures take 3-6 hours based on your given condition
