Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Advanced Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) ablation is a procedure used to treat irregular heart rhythms. During the procedure, physicians isolate the pulmonary veins, a common source of AFib. In some cases, additional areas of the heart may also be treated. Our team uses advanced imaging and mapping technology to guide this highly specialized procedure.

Who Is a Candidate for AFib Ablation?

Patients with Paroxysmal AFib

Paroxysmal AFib is AFib that comes and goes. Most patients with this type of AFib may be candidates for Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA).

Patients with Persistent AFib

Persistent AFib lasts longer than seven days and requires treatment to restore a normal heart rhythm. PFA has also been studied in patients with persistent AFib.

Treatment Options

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA)

Pulsed Field Ablation is a newer AFib treatment that uses short bursts of electrical energy to target heart tissue that causes abnormal heart rhythms. The procedure can often be completed in less time than traditional ablation methods, reducing the amount of time a patient is under anesthesia.

AFib Ablation

AFib ablation is performed under general anesthesia and uses specialized catheters inserted through veins in the leg. Advanced imaging and electro-anatomical mapping systems help physicians safely guide the procedure.

Why Choose Pulsed Field Ablation?

Pulsed Field Ablation offers important safety advantages compared with traditional thermal ablation methods. Because it targets heart tissue more precisely, it has limited effects on nearby structures such as the esophagus and vagus nerve.

Clinical studies have shown strong results, with approximately 73% to 75% of patients remaining free from AFib one year after treatment. PFA has also not been associated with certain complications that have been reported with traditional thermal ablation, including pulmonary vein stenosis. Our team provides access to this advanced technology to help patients receive safe and effective AFib treatment.
