What are the manifestations of complications after cardiac radiofrequency ablation surgery?

After cardiac radiofrequency ablation surgery, common postoperative complications may include local hematoma, pulmonary embolism, and myocardial injury. These can be alleviated through physical therapy or medication. Specific details are as follows:

1. Local Hematoma

If arterial puncture is improperly performed during cardiac radiofrequency ablation surgery, it may cause blood vessel rupture and bleeding, leading to local hematoma. Applying an ice pack externally within the first 24 hours and monitoring the hematoma is recommended.

2. Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism may occur in patients after cardiac radiofrequency ablation surgery. Some patients may experience mild symptoms such as transient ischemic attack. Under medical guidance, patients can take medications such as warfarin sodium tablets, rivaroxaban tablets, or apixaban tablets for treatment.

3. Myocardial Injury

If the ablation energy is not properly controlled during the procedure, myocardial tissue may be damaged, potentially causing myocardial infarction. Patients should follow their doctor's instructions to use medications such as vitamin C tablets, trimetazidine hydrochloride tablets, or coenzyme Q10 capsules.

In addition, other possible complications include third-degree atrioventricular block, valvular insufficiency, or stenosis. It is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment at a qualified hospital.
