Is radiofrequency ablation surgery safe?

Patient's question:

I have frequent early contractions. Can you perform radiofrequency ablation? Is this surgery safe? What kind of help do I need: Explain radiofrequency ablation to me, the safety of this procedure, recovery process, and cost?

Doctor's answer:

Early atrial arrhythmia is more frequent, indicating that you have an ectopic pacemaker in your atrium, which uncontrollably generates its own impulses, causing the heart to beat irregularly. This may pose a risk to your life. Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure where, guided by a catheter (a thin wire-like device), the catheter reaches the atrium. After a thorough examination, the ectopic pacemaker is located and destroyed using radiofrequency. This surgery is relatively safe, with small incisions and minimal bleeding, making it a viable option to consider.
