An ablation of ventricular tachycardia is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy the tissue in the heart that is causing the abnormal heart rhythm. The procedure is performed by inserting a catheter into a vein in the leg and threading it to the heart. The catheter has an electrode at the tip that delivers radiofrequency energy to the abnormal tissue. Ablation can be effective in treating ventricular tachycardia, but it is not a cure. It can also have potential risks and complications, such as bleeding, infection, or damage to the heart.
