Epicardial Ablation Surgery Introduction

Epicardial ablation surgery is a procedure that treats abnormal heart rhythms by targeting the outer layer of the heart. It uses special energy sources to destroy the small areas of heart tissue that cause irregular electrical signals. This surgery is usually done when other treatments, like medicines or catheter-based ablation, are not effective.

Precision Treatment with Epicardial Ablation

Epicardial ablation is performed by creating small incisions or using a needle to reach the pericardial space surrounding the heart. A catheter equipped with mapping and ablation tools is guided to the epicardial surface under imaging guidance. Radiofrequency energy, cryotherapy, or other energy sources are delivered to carefully destroy abnormal tissue responsible for arrhythmias. This procedure requires advanced equipment such as mapping systems, ablation generators, and guiding catheters. It is especially useful in patients with ventricular tachycardia or complex arrhythmias that cannot be accessed from inside the heart. The technique improves precision in treatment and offers a solution for cases where traditional methods fail.

Why it’s done?

  • To treat ventricular tachycardia that cannot be controlled by medication.
  • When endocardial ablation (inside the heart) does not fully correct arrhythmias.
  • For patients with scar-related arrhythmias often caused by previous heart attacks.
  • To reduce life-threatening irregular heart rhythms that may cause sudden cardiac arrest.
