Cardiac Ablation Surgery in Telangana

Is cardiac ablation a permanent cure?

It has a good success rate for many arrhythmias, though some patients need a repeat procedure if the abnormal rhythm returns, and some conditions may need ongoing monitoring even after successful ablation.

Is this open-heart surgery?

No, it's a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure done through blood vessels, not open-heart surgery, so recovery is much quicker.

How long is the hospital stay?

Usually just 1-2 days, with most patients going home the day after the procedure.

Will I still need heart medications after ablation?

Many patients can reduce or stop antiarrhythmic medications after successful ablation, though blood thinners may still be needed for a period, per your cardiologist's advice.

What are the risks of the procedure?

Risks are generally low and include bleeding at the catheter site, and rarely, damage to nearby heart structures, which your electrophysiologist will discuss based on your specific case.
