Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy has been shown to be safe and effective for treating Barrett’s esophagus complicated by dysplasia. Radiofrequency energy (radio waves) is delivered via a catheter to the esophagus to remove diseased tissue while minimizing injury to healthy esophagus tissue. This is called ablation, which means the removal or destruction of abnormal tissue. The scope of this project was to create a series of illustrations demonstrating Conisus’s proprietary ablation technology.
