Radiofrequency ablation procedures are more difficult than cardiac stenting.
Radiofrequency ablation surgery uses an interventional method to deliver a catheter to the surgical site under the guidance of medical imaging and ablates the lesions and abnormalities with a cutting-edge radiofrequency current. It is mostly used to treat diseases such as arrhythmia and thyroid nodules. In the case of arrhythmias, the focus is on pinpointing the site of the abnormal discharge and ablating it in a way that is effective while minimizing the impact on other normal parts of the heart.
Cardiac stenting, also known as coronary stenting, also involves the implantation of a stent into a narrowed coronary artery under the guidance of imaging, thereby unblocking the coronary vessels. It is mostly used to treat acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. The operation is simpler and less difficult compared to radiofrequency ablation.
