| catheter ablation | 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. (12 Dec 1998) |
| electrode catheter ablation | A method of ablating the site of origin of arrhythmias whereby high energy electric shocks are delivered by intravascular catheters. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiofrequency | 1. Radiant energy of a certain frequency range; e.g., radio and television employ radiant energy having a frequency between 105-1011 Hz, while diagnostic X-rays have a frequency in the range of 3 × 1018 Hz. 2. In magnetic resonance imaging, the energy applied to switch or create a gradient in the magnetic field. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radio frequency or radiofrequency | <physics> Term used to describe electromagnetic radiation with frequencies less than infrared, but greater than audio frequencies, i.e., greater than about 15,000 Hz. Wavelengths are therefore less than about 20,000 km and greater than about 0.01 mm. (These numbers are not precise.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| radiofrequency plugging | <radiobiology> Use of axial ponderomotive force to plug an open-ended device. First demonstrated on RFC-XX, Institute of Plasma Physics, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan, and later demonstrated in the Phaedrus device at the University of Wisconsin. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radiofrequency pulse | In nuclear magnetic resonance, a short electromagnetic signal used to change the direction of the magnetic field. See: sequence pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiofrequency trapping | <radiobiology> Use of RF waves to pitch angle scatter particles flowing axially into a magnetic mirror cell. The particles are scattered out of the loss cone and are trapped. (See entries for pitch angle scattering, magnetic mirror, loss cone.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| radiofrequency ablation |
The use of electrodes to heat and destroy abnormal tissue.

| radiofrequency ablation |
a procedure in which a catheter delivers energy at a particular radiofrequency to your heart. This destroys (ablates) the abnormal electrical pathway. In most cases ablation is successful and ends the need to take medicine.

| radiofrequency ablation |
A needle is guided from the skin into the tumor. Once in the tumor, the needle releases an umbrella of wires which treats the tumor with radiofrequency energy heat. The technique allows heat to be precisely directed at cancerous liver cells and leaves healthy cells alone.

| radiofrequency ablation |
RFA) Therapy of the liver that involves destruction of the liver. Heat is generated locally by a high frequency, alternating current that flows from electrodes. A probe is inserted into the tumor and the heat that is generated melts the tissue. Your surgeon may perform this procedure laparoscopically or during open exploration of the abdomen.
