Hi, my son underwent cryoablation when he was 8 years old at the clinic for pediatric cardiac arrhythmias. His heart rythm was irregular from birth, but with add of medications it was possible to put it under control. Irritability was the major symptom he has expressed. Cryoblation is done by inserting a catheter into that circuit and turn on energy that cools. Other option is radiofrequency when the energy heats. The first step of cryoablation is to cool, the area that causes arrhythmia in a process of cryomapping. The frozen part doesn’t function any more, eliminating its ability to cause any new arrhythmias.
