Radiofrequency-based ablation (RF ablation) is the most common form of ablation used to treat atrial fibrillation.
Advancements in the field include things like contact force sensing catheters, zero or reduced fluoroscopy (radiation associated with catheter procedures), and pulsed field ablation.
RF ablation is the most common form of ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation, the most common type of heart arrhythmia.
Pulsed Field Ablation – A non-thermal ablation technique that destroys cells directly through exposure to electrical fields.

Radio-Frequency Ablation Helped 82% of Patients With AFib, Study Finds
