Ablation Techniques
Ablation techniques are medical procedures used to treat irregular or problematic tissue, especially in the heart. They work by destroying small areas of tissue that cause issues, such as abnormal electricity flow leading to arrhythmias. This is done using energy sources like heat (radiofrequency ablation), cold (cryoablation), or lasers. The goal is to restore normal function while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. These techniques are minimally invasive and typically performed using catheters inserted through blood vessels, allowing precise treatment with less recovery time.
