Ablation Counseling & Complications

Key Points : Major complications (rare): stroke, heart perforation, pulmonary vein damage, & atrioesophageal fistula. Success rates are reduced in patients with persistent, longstanding AFib or with large left atria. Ablations do not always allow for stopping anticoagulation safely. Anticoagulation can be stopped in certain cases after ablation if CHA2DS2VASc score is low and no recurrences of AFib. Professor and electrophysiologist, Dr. Eric Prystowsky explains what factors to consider and explain when counseling patients with AFib about an ablation procedure.
