Atrial Fibrillation with CTI and PVI Ablation

SKU: C24003

A normal heartbeat rhythm occurs when electrical activity from the sinoatrial node causes the atria to contract, which pushes blood into the ventricles as the ventricles contract to push blood out of the heart. For someone experiencing AFib, disorganized electrical impulses cause the atria to quiver, leading to uncoordinated, rapid contractions of the atria and ventricles. This poses a danger as the heart may be unable to fully pump blood out of its chambers, increasing the risk of blood clots and stroke. Treatment options for atrial fibrillation include cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) ablation. In CTI ablation, a catheter is inserted through the inferior vena cava (IVC) and into the right atrium. Radiofrequency energy destroys a small area of heart tissue between the tricuspid valve and IVC, disrupting the electrical circuit that causes the heart to flutter. In PVI ablation, catheters are inserted through the IVC and into the left atrium. Radiofrequency energy destroys tissue around pulmonary veins to block irregular electrical signals.
