Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the
distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or
alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most
often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV
conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias
