Cardiac Ablation

Acute

What is Cardiac Ablation?

Cardiac ablation uses heat or cold energy to create tiny scars in the heart to block irregular electrical signals and restore a typical heartbeat. The procedure is used to correct heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias).

Arrhythmias, including racing or skipped heartbeats. Bleeding at the puncture site where your provider inserted the catheter, or at the incision site for surgical ablation. Chest pain. Dizziness or lightheadedness

  • Bleeding or infection at the site where the catheter was inserted.
  • Blood vessel damage.
  • Heart valve damage.
  • New or worsening arrhythmia.
  • Slow heart rate that could require a pacemaker to correct.
  • Blood clots in the legs or lungs (venous thromboembolism)
  • Stroke or heart attack.

Atrial fibrillation (Afib): Afib is the most common reason for heart ablation. When you have Afib, the upper chambers of your heart (called the atria) beat irregularly. The atria quiver instead of contracting. Without strong contractions, your heart can't pump blood.

  • Bleeding or infection at the site where the catheter was inserted.
  • Blood vessel damage.
  • Heart valve damage.
  • New or worsening arrhythmia.
  • Slow heart rate that could require a pacemaker to correct.
  • Blood clots in the legs or lungs (venous thromboembolism)
  • Stroke or heart attack.

Cardiac ablation is a procedure that is used to scar small areas in your heart that may be involved in your heart rhythm problems. This can prevent the abnormal electrical signals or rhythms from moving through your heart.

Cardiac ablation is a procedure that scars tissue in your heart to block irregular electrical signals. It is used to treat heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias). Long flexible tubes (catheters) are threaded through blood vessels to the heart.
