Destroy problem area: In some cases, an area of the heart can cause dangerous or uncomfortable irregularity of the heartbeat. A special wire is used to destroy the offending area hopefully curing the problem. If the problem spot is in a critical area, it may necessitate a pacemaker afterwards. Infrequently, there may be damage to the pulmonary veins or fluid may accumulate in the sac around the heart.
