Hi, I’m 53 with an autoimmune disease with heavy burden of PVCS, PACS and formerly SVTs. I had no problem with my groin site and was recovering normally until about 9 weeks later. I developed an infection that needed antibiotics at the site. A hematoma will develop normally like the size of a walnut in the groin which is what I had, but I think I jerked my leg when getting out of bed in the morning and disturbed it. I had a sharp pain and developed a red large lump. Should’ve went to the cardiologist but went PCP and she gave me an antibiotic which helped. If this happens, let your cardiologist office know right away. Otherwise, ablation recovery was just fine. Good luck.

Thanks Denise. Hopefully that doesn’t happen to me - the surgeon is going to insert 4 catheters - two on each side of the groin. I will definitely monitor them post surgery. xo
