What is ablation of the node AV?

AVLA AVLACE is a technique used to treat heart problems, such as atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, where the heart beats abnormally. During the procedure, a thin tube known as a catheter is inserted into the vein and leads to the circulatory system until it reaches the heart. Once inside the heart, radio waves are used to create thermal energy that is directed from the catheter to destroy the tissue area known as the AV node. AV node carries electrical pulses from upper heart chambers or atrials to the lower chambers, known as the chambers, and its destruction means that abnormal rhythms occurring in the hall no longer affect the whole heart. A regular rhythm can then be restored to the chambers by implanting an artificial cardiac. Impulses start at the SA node, an area of ​​specialized biological tissue in the right atrium, which acts as a natural cardiac to generate a regular heart rhythm. Sometimes other abnormal cells begin to create impulses that suppress those that come from the node SA, and that can be the backConduct conditions such as atrial fibrillation, where atriums irregularly and too fast.

After the atrium becomes, electrical impulses pass through AV node and cause ventricular contraction. Although the pulses in atrial fibrillation occur so fast that not all of them can pass into the chambers, the chambers will end faster than they would usually. The condition brings a risk of stroke or heart failure, and if other treatment fails, ablation AV nodes may be performed.

Ablation of a node and usually requires a hospital stay for about two nights. The procedure can be performed by local anesthetic, so patients remain awake. The ruins are inserted into one of the veins and lead into the heart to put themselves in one of the veins along the small thing and lead to the heart. These wires are used to detect the right area to remove the tissue and their positions are monitored using an X -ray machine. Once a precise place for chir is determinedUrgic removal, another catheter is inserted, which can supply the energy of radio waves necessary to destroy the tissue and node.

After ablation of the node AV, an artificial pacemaker is mounted. The pacemaker wire is led into the heart through the catheter inserted into the vein in the chest. Once the wire is in place, the box of pacemaker, which generates electrical signals, is placed under the skin of the chest.

Complications are rare after ablation and node ablation, but sometimes the vein could be damaged in the weakness. The terrain can be monitored several days after the procedure. In the long run, patients will have to take medication to prevent clotta blood will always require a pacemaker.
