Ablation is a non-surgical technique used to pinpoint and correct arrhythmias such as atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. The procedure is often done in conjunction with an EPS, which is performed first to locate the source of the arrhythmia.
Ablation has several variations, including techniques using heat, cold and chemicals to achieve treatment for the arrhythmia.
The Stanford Arrhythmia Service is at the forefront of performing and developing new ablation treatment techniques. Our ablation treatments include:
