Recovery or Rehabilitation
After catheter ablation the person is moved to a cardiac recovery unit or cardiovascular intensive care unit where the person who had the procedure is not allowed to move for 4-6 hours. Minimizing moving helps prevent bleeding from the place the catheter was inserted into the body. Some people have to stay overnight for observation and some need to stay much longer. However, most people are able to go home the same day.
