If your doctor indicates you have cardiac ablation, the following steps would be taken before surgery:

Tests: A wide range of tests comprising of blood tests and imaging tests will be done. The test results will be used by the doctor for reference.

Medical History: You will have to explain your history of this condition to the doctor. 

Medicines: Your doctor will ask you about the medicines you take. He/she may suggest you stop taking certain medications before surgery.

Defibrillator: You should tell your doctor if you are using any defibrillator or pacemaker so that he/she can take precautions. 

Fasting: You should not eat anything before 6-8 hours from surgery.

There are two methods for performing cardiac ablation:

• Radiofrequency ablation uses heat energy to eliminate the problem area.

• Cryoablation uses very cold temperatures.

The type of procedure you have will depend on what kind of abnormal heart rhythm you have.

Cardiac ablation procedures are done in an EP lab at a hospital by trained staff. This includes cardioelectrophysologists (heart doctors), technicians, and nurses. The setting is safe and controlled so your risk is as low as possible.

You will be given medicine (a sedative) before the procedure to help you relax.

• The skin on your neck, arm, or groin will be cleaned well and made numb with an anesthetic.

• Next, the doctor will make a small cut in the skin.

• A small, flexible tube (catheter) will be inserted through this cut into one of the blood vessels in the area. The doctor will use live x-ray images to carefully guide the catheter up into your heart. 

• Sometimes more than one catheter is needed.

Once the catheter is in place, your doctor will place small electrodes in different areas of your heart.

• These electrodes are connected to monitors that allow the cardiologist to tell what area in your heart is causing problems with your heart rhythm. In most cases, there are one or more specific areas.

• Once the source of the problem has been found, one of the catheter lines is used to send electrical (or sometimes cold) energy to the problem area.

• This creates a small scar that causes the heart rhythm problem to stop.

After the procedure is complete, the following steps will be taken-

• Your doctor will monitor your heartbeat and blood pressure 

• You will be asked to stay in the recovery room for up to 6 hours

• You can expect some soreness in your chest for some days

• You are suggested to decrease your intake of caffeine and salt intake

• You should also avoid alcohol and smoking

The procedure of Cardiac Ablation has evolved and considered safe. However, some risks are associated with this procedure:

• Bleeding at the site 

• Infections 

• Damaged artery because of the catheter

• Damage to coronary arteries

• Cardiac Tamponade

• Damage to heart valves

• Heart attack
