Cardiac Ablation System

‌‏Cardiac ablation is a procedure that can correct heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias). When the heart beats, the electrical impulses that cause it to contract must follow a precise pathway through the heart. Any interruption in these impulses can cause an abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia).
‌‏This process includes scarring or destroying the tissue that triggers or sustains an abnormal heart rhythm. This process uses long, flexible tubes (catheters) inserted through a vein or artery (in your groin or arm) and threaded to your heart to deliver energy in the form of heat (radiofrequency ablation) or extreme cold (cryoablation) to modify the tissues in your heart that cause an arrhythmia. It is sometimes done through open-heart surgery.

‌‏Cardiac Ablation has a 95% success rate but risks may include :
‌‏• Bleeding or infection at the site of insertion
‌‏• Blood clots and damage to the blood vessels
‌‏• Heart damage like puncture or damaged valves
‌‏• Arrhythmias
‌‏• Stroke or heart attack
‌‏• Narrowing of veins that carry blood between your lungs and heart (pulmonary vein stenosis)
‌‏• Kidney damage (from dye used)
