Can anyone tell what is involved in radio-frequency section?!

my 6 year old son also has cardiomyopathy and has to have a radio frequency resection as he has developed an obstruction from what i have been told it is the same as an ablation where they will go into the main artery in his groin and the use radio frequency to destroy the muscle causing the obstruction but our cardiologist called it a resection as its is on a bigger scale than an ablation the ablation only destroys tiny parts where with the resecion there is more to remove
All the best to you and your son x
