What Are the Different Types of Medical Ablation?

Catheter radiofrequency ablation is one of the methods to treat arrhythmia. The operation is to monitor the X-ray angiography machine, puncture the blood vessel, insert the electrode catheter into the heart, first check to determine the location of the abnormal structure that causes tachycardia, and then release high-frequency current locally at this location. A very high temperature is generated within the range. Through thermal efficiency, the water in the local tissue is evaporated, dried and necrotic to achieve the purpose of treatment.

Catheter radiofrequency ablation is the treatment

due to

RA-catheter radiofrequency ablation, which is a radiofrequency ablation treatment performed via arterial puncture, is the current arrhythmia treatment method used by the Chinese Cardiac Intervention Treatment Center. This method integrates a variety of medical methods such as radiofrequency ablation, DSA interventional technology, and vascular imaging technology. It has excellent curative effects on arrhythmias caused by various types of physiological and electrical abnormalities. Compared with transcatheter radiofrequency catheter ablation via femoral artery puncture, radiofrequency catheter ablation via RA catheterization reduces the patient's pain to a certain extent. It does not require bed rest and sandbag compression after operation. It reduces the chance of infection and thrombosis, which has obvious advantages.

I. Does not damage the heart: RF current causes local damage to the myocardium is very limited, about 3-4 mm in diameter and depth, and will not affect heart function;

2. Minimally invasive: It does not need to be cut through the chest or the back, but only needs to be punctured through the arteries. It does not affect the aesthetics, and the wound is only 2mm;

3. No side effects: The operation is performed under local anesthesia. The patient is awake throughout the operation. He can tell his doctor how he feels at any time to avoid the side effects and risks of general anesthesia.

4. Fast recovery: The operation time is short, the operation time can be completed within one hour, the next day after the operation can go to the ground, and the patient can be discharged from the hospital within two to three days;

Fifth, the pain is small: RA-catheter radiofrequency ablation is a puncture in the flexible artery, which is easy for postoperative care, does not appear infection, does not form blood clots, does not need to endure the pain of bedridden, and can fully take care of itself.

6. Real-time efficacy evaluation: The intracardiac electrophysiological examination can confirm the success of the operation.
