Feb 2, 2024 · Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) ablation is a treatment for irregularly fast or erratic heart rhythms that affect the heart's upper chambers. It uses cold or heat energy to create tiny scars …

Dec 8, 2025 · The goal of SVT ablation procedure is to restore a normal heart rhythm to those with SVT. This is accomplished by hindering the cells that send signals that trigger a rapid heartbeat and …

Jan 12, 2023 · SVT ablation is a procedure that heats or freezes heart tissue that’s sending irregular heartbeat signals. Damaging these cells keeps them from sending signals that make your heart beat …

Oct 24, 2024 · The procedure is used most often to treat a condition called supraventricular tachycardia, or SVT, which occurs because of abnormal conduction fibers in the heart.

SVT can cause symptoms for some. It may be treated with medicines and/or ablation. There are different names for different kinds of arrhythmias. This depends on where they happen in the heart. …

SVT ablation is a catheter-based procedure that uses heat (radiofrequency ablation) or extreme cold (cryoablation) to create tiny scars in the heart to block the faulty electrical signals and restore the …

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) ablation is a catheter-based procedure used to treat episodes of rapid heart rhythm that originate in the upper chambers of the heart. The goal is to identify and …

Patients are typically placed under general anesthesia, and the procedure may be performed via open-heart surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as thoracoscopy or robotic-assisted surgery, …

Catheter ablation is a technique to treat supraventricular tachycardia instead of medications. Learn more about catheter ablation.

This minimally invasive procedure has revolutionized the treatment of these types of arrhythmias by eliminating the need for surgery. At NYU Langone, catheter ablation is performed in our cardiac …
