Ablations in the future

Good news, it seems a hologram is very effective in showing the surgeon exactly where the rogue electrical impulse is travelling so he/she can zap it. bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08nyrng

Thank you for sharing will look at that 👌🏻

Amazing let’s hope eh! Brilliant. Thank you again.

Improving techniques gives us hope! I have hesitated ..let's hope this gives better results x

Sounds like it will save many of the almost automatic second ablations as well as avoid over burning where not necessary.

I particularly liked the bit about ‘walking around inside the heart’ - awesome!

Wow, very interesting.

Just brilliant! Wonder when that technology will be available in UK?

Thanks for sharing.

Talking of ablations of the future I am waiting with interest for the results of the 'Pulsed' trials, I first posted about the PFA technique a couple of years ago it is now being developed by a number of companies and the results are looking good ..

This is another method of ablation being trialed I believe this autumn by Atrian and uses Pulsed Electrical Fields to ablate hyperactivity on the external surface of the heart sparing other tissue...

Fingers crossed, there is certainly scope for improvements!

We can but hope ST 😊 meanwhile no one is going to do anything invasive to my heart I will hold out for something better...
