The specialists at the Top Ichilov Cardiac Center widely use a minimally invasive and highly effective catheter ablation method for treating arrhythmias, allowing for the correction of heart rhythm disturbances without surgery. Radiofrequency heart ablation is a complex procedure performed at the Ichilov Complex clinic with minimal trauma to the patient's body.
Catheter ablation is performed using lasers, various chemicals, or cold (cryoablation); in modern cardiology, radiofrequency catheter ablation is most commonly used. This procedure provides the most durable therapeutic effect and allows for the rapid treatment of arrhythmias and some other cardiovascular diseases.

Features of Ablation at Top Ichilov
During radiofrequency ablation, a catheter is inserted into the femoral vein or femoral artery. An electrode-introducer is then inserted into this catheter, which, upon entering the heart chamber, cauterizes the area of pathological impulse generation. An AV block is created, followed by the implantation of a permanent pacemaker. Radiofrequency ablation restores normal heart rhythm, saves lives, and allows the patient to lead an active lifestyle.
