Electrophysiology
Catheter Ablation
Targeted treatment of arrhythmias using radiofrequency, cryothermal, or pulsed-field energy.
Who this is for
- Atrial fibrillation
- Atrial flutter
- SVT and Wolff-Parkinson-White
- Ventricular tachycardia
What to expect
- EP study performed first to map the rhythm
- Targeted lesions placed to block the abnormal pathway
- Typical procedure 2–4 hours; most patients home next day
- Pulsed-field ablation available for selected patients
Why our team
Catheter Ablation is performed by the same cardiologists who follow you long-term. Because we're an independent group, your imaging, procedure, and follow-up stay within one practice — fewer hand-offs, fewer dropped details. Our team includes board-certified specialists across electrophysiology and adjacent disciplines, with hospital privileges across Mercy Health and ProMedica systems.
Catheter Ablation — common questions
- How successful is AFib ablation?
- Single-procedure success for paroxysmal AFib is typically 70–80%. Persistent AFib often benefits from a second procedure.
