Radiofrequency Ablation for Arrhythmia. Dr Mustafa Bilge Erdogan. ISU Liv Hospital Bahcesehir

Regain your life's rhythm with radiofrequency ablation!

Your heart deserves a stable rhythm!

Arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and tachycardias can significantly reduce the quality of your life, causing rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and fatigue. But now you have the opportunity to change that with radiofrequency ablation — a modern and effective procedure that will help you regain a normal heart rhythm and activity.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a method of treating arrhythmias by using radiofrequency energy to destroy abnormal areas of heart tissue that cause rhythm disturbances. This procedure is an effective and relatively safe way to treat various types of arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, and ventricular tachycardia.

Key steps of the procedure

The patient usually receives local anesthesia and sedatives. A catheter is inserted through a vein or artery in the groin, neck, or subclavian area. An electrode is inserted through the catheter to record the heart's electrical activity. The source of the arrhythmia is identified. A catheter with a radiofrequency generator at the tip is directed to the abnormal tissue area. The radiofrequency energy heats and destroys this area, stopping the abnormal electrical activity. The catheter is removed. The catheter insertion site is closed and treated to prevent bleeding.

Benefits of radiofrequency ablation

• High likelihood of successful arrhythmia treatment
• The procedure is less traumatic compared to open surgical interventions
• Patients usually return to normal life within a few days
• Sustainable improvement in heart condition and quality of life

Risks and complications

• Bleeding: At the catheter insertion site
• Infection: Risk of infection at the catheter insertion site
• Heart damage: In rare cases, damage to heart tissue or vessels may occur
• Thrombosis: Formation of blood clots
• Recurrence of arrhythmia: Possibility of the arrhythmia reappearing

Radiofrequency ablation is an important method for treating arrhythmias, but the decision to perform it should be made by a doctor based on the individual characteristics of the patient.
