What is the heart procedure called oblation?

Question:

Answers:
I think you mean "ablation," which is a non-surgical procedure used to destroy tissue in the heart that is housing a "short circuit" in the heart's electrical system (which can disturb normal heart rhythms). It's done using a catheter, which is a very thin flexible wire that they insert into a blood vessel (usually in your groin or neck) and thread down into the heart. They then use the wire to locate the part of the heart where the short circuit is and then to destroy that tiny area of tissue, restoring the heart's electrical system back to normal.

This procedure is usually pretty painless and they will often sedate you to keep you calm while it's going on.

Other Answers:
That is where the take the patient into the cardiac cath lab and sedate them and then use the heart paddles to shock there heart back into normal rhythm.

It is called cardiac ablation.used for rapid heartbeats or unusual rhythms in the heart. It is usually a last resort after changes in diet and trying various medications. It should be performed by a specialist who has done many, many of these procedures. It is not a cardio-version, which is the shock to the heart. That can also be tried and if that doesn't work, then this can be done. It is a catheter run into the heart through an artery and then part of the muscle or nerve tissue is zapped. This stops the heart from getting the wrong electrical messages and can make the rhythm return to normal. It is more successful for certain types of arrythmias than others.
