Cardiac ablation (radiofrequency, catheter) is one of the most effective and radical methods of surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. This technique allows you to exclude 80-98% in the subsequent recurrent cases of tachyarrhythmias, which are life-threatening. Heart ablation does not involve open heart surgery. When using the radio frequency technique, exposure is made through a catheter to the affected areas in the conducting structures of the organ.
Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive method of surgical intervention, having several varieties that differ in the mechanism of action of the catheter. Radiofrequency surgery is performed using a thin and flexible catheter guide. It is injected into a blood vessel and brought to a pathological source in the heart cavity. Then, by means of a catheter, a radiofrequency pulse is supplied, destroying the tissue site, provoking an irregular rhythm in the heart muscle.
Cardiac ablation (radiofrequency) is used in the treatment of arrhythmias such as:
- atrial fibrillation;
- atrial fibrillation;
- supraventricular tachycardia, including atrioventricular, reciprocal nodal tachycardia, as well as Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome;
- certain types of ventricular tachycardia.
Indications for the use of this method of intervention also include idiopathic (causeless) atrial fibrillation (in the absence of organic pathologies), arrhythmia, manifested by seizures, and persistent (persistent) arrhythmia.
In patients who underwent cardiac ablation, reviews in most cases are positive. As practice shows, patients are much easier to tolerate it in comparison with open surgery on this organ. After using the radio frequency method, complications are recorded with the least frequency. The recovery period takes a minimum period and passes almost painlessly. The radio frequency method eliminates the formation of sutures and postoperative scars. This method also eliminates the need for long-term use of anticoagulant medications after surgery.
During surgical intervention, three-dimensional visualization is used. The use of graphics allows you to accurately determine the focus of the pathological impulse and prevent unwanted damage to the heart wall and blood vessels.
Laser ablation
Today, varicose veins are a very common disease. As practice shows, more than half of the female population after reaching the age of fifty faces this problem. Along with this, this disease is noted at a younger age. Men are also subject to this ailment.
Varicose vein expansion not only spoils the beauty of female legs, but is also accompanied by pain.
A solution to the problem may be laser ablation (intravenous). This technique significantly contributes to the elimination of venous bulges for several days from the start of therapy.
Laser minimally invasive therapeutic procedures can effectively relieve varicose veins.
This technique can be used on an outpatient basis and does not require the use of general anesthesia. The mechanism of action of an intravenous laser is based on energy exposure directed to venous walls. Moreover, the restriction of blood flow to one or another site causes a shift in the direction of flow in the area of functioning veins.
The use of modern laser technology can reduce the risk of venous perforation and increase visibility in order to achieve the most high-quality and effective therapy results.
