Ablation is a way to fix an arrhythmia and get your heart to beat normally. A catheter is inserted into your vein and guided to the heart muscle.  The tip of the catheter delivers a burst of energy that destroys the very small areas of heart tissue that are causing the arrhythmia.

An abscess is a pus-filled pocket in the body. Abscess drainage removes the fluid from the abscess to keep infection from spreading.

In balloon angioplasty, a catheter with a small balloon on its tip is inserted into the blockage site. Once there, the balloon is inflated in the artery to flatten or compress the plaque against the artery wall.

Biliary drainage and stenting are techniques used to help bile drain from your bile duct if you have a blockage.

This is when medications to treat cancer are injected directly into the blood vessels that feed a cancerous tumor.

Cryoablation, sometimes called cryotherapy, is a minimally invasive treatment used to destroy diseased cells in the esophagus caused by esophageal cancer and/or Barrett's esophagus. For cryoablation, a physician inserts a small tube (endoscope) through your mouth and into your esophagus. Once the endoscope is in place, liquid nitrogen is sprayed through the endoscope into the esophagus. The liquid nitrogen freezes the lining of your esophagus. The frozen cells die and are replaced by healthy cells. Cryoablation is used to treat Barrett's esophagus with high-grade dysplasia, and some early stage esophageal cancers. It can also be used to improve symptoms of advanced cancers. These symptoms include difficulty swallowing and bleeding.

A dialysis shunt, also called a dialysis fistula, is a connection between a vein and artery that helps your body create the flow of blood it needs for dialysis to work.

To put a medication or device into the bloodstream that will block blood vessels.

A gastrostomy tube, also called a G-tube, is a type of feeding tube used when people can't get nutrition through their mouth.

Kyphoplasty is a procedure that can help stop pain caused by a spinal fracture. A small incision is made in the back and the doctor uses fluoroscopy (real time X-ray), to place a narrow tube up to the affected vertebrae. Then, through the tube, the doctor inflates a balloon that raises the vertebrae and places a cement-like material to stabilize the bone where it should be.
