FAQ’S
What kind of doctor does an ablation?
Ablation therapy is performed by imaging specialists (radiologists), heart specialists (cardiologists) who have special training in treating heart rhythm disorders (electrophysiologists). Abnormal tissue can be weakened or destroyed by a variety of methods, including heat (radiofrequency ablation), extreme cold (cryoablation), lasers, or chemicals. They can use probes inserted through the skin, arteries (catheters), or flexible tubes inserted through energy beams. Imaging techniques are used to guide the tubes or probes during the procedure.
Is cardiac ablation major surgery?
Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive technique which is used in treating atrial fibrillation without involvement of any major surgery. With a specially designed catheter that is inserted through blood vessels in the left atrium of the heart, radiofrequency energy is applied to the heart muscle, causing “shorts circuits” in the heart’s electrical system.
How long does ablation surgery take?
Cardiac ablation typically takes 3 to 6 hours, but the time can vary widely depending on the type of arrhythmia the patient has. The patient will be closely monitored by doctors and nurses after the procedure. Depending on the patient’s condition, the individual will be discharged the same day or may have to stay in the hospital overnight. Most people return to their normal activities a few days after cardiac ablation, but you should avoid heavy lifting for a week.
Who performs catheter ablation?
Cardiologists or the doctor who are specialised in treating heart diseases perform catheter ablation in the hospital. The patient can be awake during the procedure but may receive the medication through the intravenous (IV) line in the hand so that they can rest during the procedure.
How safe is cardiac ablation?
Every surgery or procedure involves certain risks. The possible risks for cardiac ablation include:
- Bleeding or infection at the site where the catheter was inserted
- Damage to blood vessels or valves of the heart
- Slow heart rateÂ
- Venous thromboembolism
- Stroke or heart attack
- Pulmonary vein stenosis
- Damage to kidneys from the dye used during the procedure
It is always better to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with the doctor to avoid any complications involved during or after the procedure.
