MeSH Heading: Catheter Ablation
Tree Number(s): E02.808.750.500; E04.014.760.500
Unique ID: D017115
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017115
Annotation: coordinate organ or disease with /‌surg
Scope Note: Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.
