Radiofrequency ablation for cardiac arrhythmias is available at Centro Médico Teknon in Barcelona, Spain. The procedure may cost around €18,000-22,000 and is performed by Dr. Antonio Berruezo Sanchez, a leading cardiologist with 29 years of experience. The clinic uses advanced CARTO 3D mapping technology for precise treatment.
About the Procedure
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for irregular heartbeats. A catheter is guided to the heart to correct abnormal electrical signals. The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours under anesthesia. Most patients stay 1-2 nights in the ICU or semi-critical unit.
What's Included
- Pre-operative diagnostics: ECG and CT angiography
- Radiofrequency ablation: Performed with CARTO mapping system
- 1-2 nights hospitalization with monitoring
- Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography
- All medications and medical supplies
