It is not the caheter that is ablated. The catheter is used for ablation. That is why I clarified this point further in my added note.
Definition: "Ablation is a medical term that refers to any procedure performed to destroy diseased or damaged tissue in the body. Catheter ablation is a technique in which a thin tube, or catheter, is inserted through the skin or threaded through the blood vessels to the site of disease. Extreme heat or cold, alcohol, chemotherapy drugs or other therapies are delivered through the catheter to the diseased tissue." |
