Cardiac or Catheter Ablation : Used to treat heart arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), this procedure aims to restore normal heart rhythm by targeting and destroying areas in the heart responsible for irregular beats.
Endometrial Ablation : This procedure helps women with heavy menstrual bleeding by removing the endometrium, the lining of the uterus.
Cancer Ablation : Ablation techniques are employed to treat tumors in organs like the kidneys and liver when surgery is not a viable option.
Radiofrequency ablation, cardiac ablation, catheter ablation
Body Location : Heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, thyroid, endometrium, and others.
Ablation Therapy Procedure Type
Minimally invasive procedure
How is Ablation Therapy Performed?
Ablation therapy employs various clinically approved methods to target and destroy abnormal tissue. The commonly used techniques are as follows:
Microwave Ablation :
A thin probe is inserted through a small incision in the skin, guided by imaging tools such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to locate the target tissue.
The probe’s tip generates microwaves to heat and destroy the abnormal tissue.
High-Energy Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation
Similar to microwave ablation, this technique uses radiofrequency energy instead of microwaves to ablate the tissue.
Thermal Balloon Ablation :
A balloon is placed at the target site and filled with a heated fluid, typically at approximately 88°C, to eliminate undesired tissue.
Laser Ablation :
A laser beam is used to target and treat conditions such as skin discoloration, lesions, or abnormal tissue growth.
A supercooled probe or device, typically using liquid nitrogen or argon gas to reach temperatures around -15°C, is inserted or applied to the tissue.
The extreme cold creates ice crystals, which rupture and destroy the targeted cells. Effectiveness of Ablation Therapy While ablation therapy offers a minimally invasive alternative for treating certain conditions, it does not guarantee complete or permanent recovery. Recurrence of the condition may occur, depending on the individual case and the patient’s overall health. Nevertheless, this innovative approach has demonstrated an average success rate of over 60-70% in challenging cases.
