Does radiofrequency ablation for premature beats require hospitalization?

Patient's question:

I recently experienced symptoms of palpitations, breath-holding, shortness of breath, and fainting, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was supraventricular premature beats and recommended that I undergo radiofrequency ablation for the premature beats. I would like to ask if this radiofrequency ablation requires hospitalization to control it?

Doctor's answer:

Radiofrequency ablation does not require pressure treatment, but it does require hospitalization. At least two to three days are needed before discharge, as this allows doctors and nurses to closely monitor the effects and prevent any recurrence of adverse conditions. We recommend that you actively cooperate. Additionally, radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require thoracotomy. Therefore, we suggest that you relax and rest well to ensure the best physical and mental state for the surgery. After the procedure, pay attention to nutrition and avoid spicy, greasy, or irritating foods.
