Radiotherapy in Treatment-Resistant Rhythm Disorders (STAR)

About the Treatment Method

STAR (Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation) is the world's newest and most extraordinary treatment method applied in cases where severe rhythm disorders in the heart, such as potentially fatal Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), do not respond to medications, pacemakers (ICD), and even classic catheter ablation performed through the groin. Cardiologists and Oncologists collaborate to kill those cells by giving a very high dose of radiation (beam) in a single session from the outside to that rebellious electricity-producing focal point in the heart (even though there is no tumor).

Heart Palpitation Treatment with Radiation

The miraculous combination of Cardiology and Radiation Oncology.
Isn't it dangerous to give radiation to a heart without cancer?

This method is an absolute last resort. That focus (scar) in the electrical system that causes the heart to contract is so stubborn that it cannot be destroyed by any treatment and causes the patient to be constantly shocked. With special CyberKnife or TrueBeam devices, pinpoint radiation (SBRT) is delivered only and exclusively to that 1-2 centimeter defective focus, burning that part. The rays do not touch other healthy parts of the heart.

Is surgery or angiography performed during the procedure?

The greatest miracle of the procedure is that it is completely "Non-Invasive" (bloodless and incisionless). No needles, wires, or catheters are inserted into the patient's body. The patient lies on the radiation table, the device sends rays to the heart within 15-20 minutes, and the patient gets up from the table and goes home. The tissue producing incorrect electricity turns into scar tissue within days, becoming silent and returning the rhythm to normal.
