  • Blood clots in the legs or lungs (venous thromboembolism)
  • Bleeding or infection at the site where the catheter was inserted.

Cardiac ablation treats heart arrhythmias that can't be controlled with medication. Heart ablation procedures can treat all types of irregular or abnormal heart rhythms, including: Atrial fibrillation (Afib): Afib is the most common reason for heart ablation
