After your procedureĭepending on the type of arrhythmia you have, cardiac ablation may be the only treatment you need to restore your heart rhythm for good.Ī comprehensive treatment plan combining cardiac ablation with medication or a pacemaker can greatly improve your symptoms. Your provider will let you know if you can return home the same day or if you’ll need to stay overnight for observation. Finally, we deliver heat or cold to each mapped area, in order to create permanent scar tissue.We watch how your heart responds to these impulses, then we “map” each area responsible for spreading electrical signals incorrectly. Once the catheters are in place, we send electrical impulses into your heart.We’ll gently guide these catheters through your blood vessels until we reach your heart. We’ll insert several catheters into your body, usually in the groin area.You’ll receive either light sedation (to keep you awake but comfortable) or general anesthesia (so you’re asleep during the procedure).These electrodes are attached by wires to a machine that keeps track of your heart rhythm (electrocardiogram). We’ll also attach sticky metal discs (electrodes) to your chest. We’ll fit you with a blood pressure cuff and oxygen sensor.Your procedure will take place in a special room in the hospital called an electrophysiology lab. Atrial flutter ablation is a procedure to create scar tissue within an upper chamber of the heart in order to block the electrical signals that cause a fluttering heartbeat. Most procedures take several hours to complete. Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (MitraClip)Ĭardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Left Atrial Appendage Closure (Watchman Device) Percutaneous Ventricular Assist Device (Impella) Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (Angioplasty) Coronary Calcium Scan (Calcium Score test)Ĭomplex and High Risk Interventional Procedures (CHIP)
