How Catheter Ablation is performed
Catheter ablation is mostly performed in an electrophysiology laboratory, with optional sedation or general anesthesia. Electrode catheters are inserted into the heart chamber through peripheral blood vessels, combined with intracardiac electrophysiological examination and 3D electroanatomical mapping to locate abnormal pathways or arrhythmogenic foci, and stimulation is induced and verified when necessary. After determining the target, radiofrequency or cryoenergy ablation is used to interrupt abnormal conduction. Postoperative monitoring of heart rhythm and puncture points is performed to evaluate efficacy and prevent complications. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.

Recovery and stay
Total (preoperative evaluation + hospitalization/treatment + discharge follow-up) is usually 1–2 weeks; the specific schedule is subject to the hospital's schedule.
