Cardiac ablation, also called catheter ablation ... or heat energy (radiofrequency ablation) to freeze or burn parts of the heart that are causing you to have an arrhythmia.

performs a cardiac ablation by inserting a catheter (tube) through a blood vessel to your heart," the site reads. "They use heat (radiofrequency ablation), cold (cryoablation) or short bursts of ...

This trial enrolled 136 patients with drug-refractory PAF across 7 sites. “The ability to deliver both PF and RF energy via the same catheter simplifies the workflow for ablation procedures and ...
