Catheter ablation is an invasive procedure used to remove or terminate a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the hearts of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardias (SVT) and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. ==Indications== Catheter ablation may be recomme...

Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (dc-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 khz). The technique is used most often to ablate the av junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt av conduction an...
