The cost of cardiac imaging typically performed before the ablation procedure is a fraction of the cost of the procedure. Although the risk of complication is small, about 6 percent with ablation, there is still the chance of puncturing the heart or forming a fistula. More information: Luisa ...
Maze procedure Pulsed field ablation Ablation of the AV node with implantation of a pacemaker Ablation of the AV node is a procedure that destroys the AV node so that the atrial electrical discharges cannot pass through the AV node to activate the ventricles. The procedure usually is performed ...
In this study of first-time paroxysmal AFib ablation procedures, a patient’s gender did not impact rate of clinical success, arrhythmia recurrence, or overall safety. Data did show females were older, held a higher CHADS-Vasc score, and experienced a higher percentage of left ...

Ablation When drugs and electrical treatments aren't working, your doctor may suggest a procedure called ablation. While you're sedated, a cardiologist will insert a thin, flexible tube into a large blood vessel and guide it to the spot in your heart that's misfiring. They'll destroy the ...
Before the development of catheter ablation, open heart surgery was done to interrupt conducting pathways in both atria. This is called the surgical maze procedure. Maze surgery is usually considered in patients who need some other type of heart surgery, such as valve repair or coronary artery by...
