He is currently working on developing a cardiac electrophysiology laboratory to diagnose and treat via
radiofrequency catheter ablation of arrhythmias.
Dr Roberto Santilli and Dr Romain Pariaut performed a successful
radiofrequency catheter ablation of a mid-septal accessory pathway maintaining a fast reciprocating tachycardia (> 300 bpm).
Located in New York, and as a former patient at the hospital, Cornell's Cardiology Companion Animal services provide, «a number of interventional therapies including, but not limited to, pacemaker implantation, occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus, balloon valvuloplasty for pulmonic and subaortic stenosis, cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and
radiofrequency catheter ablation of arrhythmias.»

The tip of the
catheter delivers
radiofrequency energy that heats and destroys tissue that is sending out erratic electrical signals.
During the renal denervation procedure with the Symplicity device used in this trial, a
catheter is threaded through arteries to deliver
radiofrequency energy that inactivates kidney nerves, interrupting electrical signals to and from the kidney, an organ that performs a major role in regulating blood pressure.
During
catheter ablation, which typically takes four to five hours, cardiologists thread a
catheter, or long thin tube, up through a blood vessel from the groin to the heart and use it as a conduit to send
radiofrequency energy to cauterize the misfiring cells.
