Swedish term or phrase: His-abladering
One of several individuals participating in a study of heart failure patients was recently found to have atrial fibrillation, which means that he can't achieve biventricular pacing despite having a pacemaker (an ICD device). The possibility has been raised of performing a "His-abladering" if his heart beat frequency can't be reduced by other means. I suspect "His-abladering" refers to a "His ablation" but am not sure. Any input from others would be most appreciated. Many thanks!

The passage containing this term appears in a patient record and reads as follows:

"Nyligen noterats förmaksflimmer, vilket gjort att han inte pacat biventrikulärt. Höjd dos betablockad för frekvensreglering. Möjligen framöver His-abladering om man ej lyckas få när frekvensen."

His ablation
Explanation:
HIS BUNDLE ABLATION:
His bundle ablation (HBA) is a procedure used to stop A-V conduction in atrial fibrillation, flutter (when flutter ablation is not indicated) or tachycardia. A permanent pacemaker (PPM) must be inserted. A ventricular pacing catheter and an ablation catheter are inserted via the femoral vein . The ablation catheter is positioned on the His bundle and the conductive tissue is destroyed by application of radiofrequency energy so the abnormal atrial rhythm is not conducted through to the ventricles.
