[Transvascular intracardiac ablation--on the current status of the method in the treatment of tachyarrhythmias].

A survey is given on the method of the transvasal intracardiac ablation in the treatment of atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Experimental fundaments, indication, method and possible complications are reported. Own results on five patients with His bundle ablation are described. A possible further development of the method is the enlargement of the His bundle ablation to the ablation of focal arrhythmias, Kent's fibres and ventricular tachycardias without evocation of a total atrioventricular block. Alternative techniques of the cauterization, the laser ablation and the high frequency coagulation are described.
