    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

    Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radio-frequency energy or other sources to terminate or modify a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the heart of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

    The Cleveland Clinic detailed how the surgery is done: "A cardiologist (heart specialist) performs a cardiac ablation by inserting a catheter (tube) through a blood vessel to your heart," the site ...

  4. Radiofrequency ablation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiofrequency_ablation

    Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used in the treatment of varicose veins. It is an alternative to the traditional stripping operation. Under ultrasound guidance, a radiofrequency catheter is inserted into the abnormal vein and the vessel treated with radio-energy, resulting in closure of the involved vein.

  5. Alcohol septal ablation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_septal_ablation

    Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is a minimally invasive heart procedure to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). [1]It is a percutaneous, minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional cardiologist to relieve symptoms and improve functional status in eligible patients with severely symptomatic HCM who meet strict clinical, anatomic and physiologic selection criteria.

  6. Cardioneuroablation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardioneuroablation

    The “Cardioneuroablation” is a technique created in the nineties and patented in USA, aiming to eliminate the cardiac branch of vagal reflex in order to treat the neurocardiogenic syncope without pacemaker implantation. [6] [7] It is performed without surgery, by using radiofrequency catheter ablation with one-day hospital. [citation needed]

  7. Minimaze procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimaze_procedure

    Surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation with off-pump, epicardial, high-intensity focused ultrasound: Although the HIFU minimaze is performed epicardially, on the normally beating heart, it is also usually performed in conjunction with other cardiac surgery, and so would not be minimally invasive in those cases.

  8. Mustard procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_procedure

    This surgery had not been possible prior to 1975 because of difficulty with re-implanting coronary arteries which perfuse the actual heart muscle itself , and even after it was first performed the excellent results from the Mustard operation meant that it was a long time before the Jatene procedure took over.

  9. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

    CABG is also performed when a patient is to undergo another cardiac surgical procedure, most commonly for valve disease, and angiography reveals a significant lesion of the coronary arteries. [9] CABG can also address dissection of coronary arteries, where a rupture of the coronary layers creates a pseudo- lumen (cavity) and diminishes blood ...
