A growing number of patients are being diagnosed with an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas. The management of these lesions can be complicated, and we thought it would be helpful if we provided general answers to the most common questions our patients have about intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms.
Patients who received radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins reported less post-procedural pain than those treated with endovenous laser ablation. However, both groups reported the same clinical and quality of life improvements at six weeks. Share:
Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy (similar to microwave heat) to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats. Destroying this tissue helps restore your heartâs regular rhythm. The procedure is also called radiofrequency ablation. Catheter ablation is a low-risk procedure that is successful in about 90 percent of the people who have it. 2  This procedure takes place in a special hospital room called an electrophysiology (EP) lab or a cardiac catheterization (cath) lab. 3  It takes 2 to 4 hours.
