Radiofrequency cardiac ablation

Nov 14, 2022

Radiofrequency ablation is to use a small catheter to enter the heart through the peripheral blood duct. Through the determination of X-ray and electrocardiogram, the catheter can contact the exact location of the arrhythmia-causing lesions, and the radiofrequency current of certain energy can be converted into heat energy to destroy the lesions, so as to achieve the purpose of radical treatment of tachyarrhythmia. After treatment, the catheter was pulled out of the body without any trace. It has the characteristics of less trauma, quick recovery and good effect. Except for young children (mainly to cooperate with the operation), patients do not need general anesthesia, only local anesthesia in the acupuncture site, the skin incision is about 0.5 cm, and the disease can be cured by lying in the catheterization room for 1 to 2 hours in the awake state. The vast majority of patients experience no discomfort during surgery. The patient can be discharged and resume daily work and life within 2 days after the operation. Radiofrequency ablation has been developed over the past 20 years and has become a necessary treatment for many kinds of arrhythmias, In addition to the treatment of sinus reentrant tachycardia, large reentrant and focal atrial tachycardia, typical atrial flutter, atrioventricular node dual path combined with atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia (slow, slow, slow), atrioventricular bypass combined with atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (anterograde, reverse), idiopathic ventricular tachycardia, refractory premature beat, The treatment of organic heart disease arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation caused by premature ventricular beats has achieved gratifying results.
