Dr Andre Ng, senior lecturer in cardiology at the University of Leicester, will be conducting the operation.He will use technology that allows rapid and accurate location of the origin of the heart rhythm disturbance in a three-dimensional geometry of the heart chambers and guides successful treatment with the use of catheter ablation.Dr Ng said he was not worried about performing the surgery live."I am very pleased to be invited to perform the live ablation procedure," he explained.
