1. :

  • A method of treating the recurrence of atrial arrhythmias, wherein delivering energy via catheter ablation π

    to specific areas of the epicardium, the method comprising the step of;

    Inserting an electrophysiology ablation catheter having a tip section with an ablation electrode pointed toward the right or left atrial epicardium and directing the catheter to specific autonomic nerve structure stabilizing the ablation electrode at said epicardial nerve structure; and

    delivering effective energy through the electrode sufficient to attenuate the electrophysio logical autonomic signals”

    generated by this area and causing the recurrence and perpetuation of the said atrial arrhythmias.
