UTMB debuts new heart ablation technology
UTMB Health’s Clear Lake Campus Hospital is one of 10 locations in the United States to launch a new heart ablation procedure that provides a host of advantages over existing techniques used to treat atrial fibrillation and other electrophysiological issues.
The new procedure can be completed more quickly and is considered safer because it does not cause thermal damage to surrounding cells that are not being targeted.
