The specific technique used in ablation therapy depends on the condition being treated. For cardiac arrhythmias, catheter ablation is the most common method. The procedure involves inserting a thin, flexible tube called a catheter through a blood vessel and guiding it to the heart. Once the catheter is in place, energy (radiofrequency or cryotherapy) is delivered to destroy the abnormal tissue causing the arrhythmia.
For tumors, techniques like radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or cryoablation are used. In RFA, high-frequency electrical currents are used to heat and destroy tumor cells. In cryoablation, extreme cold is used to freeze and kill the abnormal cells.
