Sure, like any procedure on the heart, there are certain risk. The
following can occur:
Bleeding at the groin site where the catheter was inserted
Damage to the blood vessel
Puncture of the heart with the
wire
Damage to the heart's electrical system
Heart attack or stroke
The dye used during the procedure can damage the kidneys. The
risks of dye injury to the kidney are increased in diabetics or those with existing
renal disease. In general cardiac ablation tends to be of high risk in elderly
people.
