Heart ablation treatment | UW Health | Treatments | UW Health
Ablation uses thermal (heat or cold) or pulsed-field (short bursts of high energy) techniques to create a small scar that targets the area in your heart creating the abnormal heartbeat. This lesion blocks the irregular electrical pathway. Your doctor uses a thin, flexible tube called a catheter to reach your heart.
