What can I expect in ablation surgery?
patients suffering from irregular heart rhythm, known as arrhythmias or blood clotting in the halls of their heart due to atrial fibrillation, may require ablation surgery to prevent heart attack or stroke. The presence of extra cell tissue in the heart causes inconsistent heart rate by disrupting the electrical impulses that regulate how the heart works. As a result, surgical tissue removal is required. The doctor may recommend open surgery or minimally invasive surgery depending on the severity of the arrhythmia and the presence of any other basic heart conditions.
tissue removal is necessary for patients with excessive tissue around the heart of an undesirable cell. Normal tissues around the heart stimulate the heart to beat electrical impulses with the nerves transmitted; Other tissues also send signals that disrupt normal currents. These mixed impulses inhibit the ability of the heart to draw blood can cause blood to join and then collide in the chambers of the heart. ChirUrgie interrupts electric waves sent by other tissues. Open ablation surgery requires the patient to be placed in anesthesia. Once under anesthesia, the patient is placed on the respirator and his heart is stopped. The surgeon then performs slices on abnormal tissue. The scar tissue is then formed through slices and blocks pulses emitted by other tissues.
Variations of this surgery includes a surgeon inserted by the catheter into other tissues around the heart. The catheter then releases the radio or laser waves into excess tissues. Such a procedure limits the ability of tissues to release obstructive impulses.
minimally invasive operations do not require chest to be open or stop the heart. Instead, smaller cuts are carried out in the chest. Then endoscopes are inserted and small cuts are carried out around excess tissue. Like open surgery, the tissue of the scar is formed above excess tissues and prevents electric emissionch impulses.
Before surgery, patients should reveal what drugs they are taking. Candidates for ablation surgery must also delay eating or drinking anything a day before surgery. The area around the chest will be anesthetic to the drug injected needle. In weeks after surgery, the patient may experience a rapid heart rhythm because the heart begins to develop normal rhythm.
