Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmia: Volume and Success Rates
2022, N = 256
Cleveland Clinic is a national referral center for patients with ventricular arrhythmias. In 2022, 256 ventricular arrhythmia ablation procedures were performed, with 94.1% immediate procedural success.

Ventricular arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that originate in the bottom chambers of the heart (ventricles). The multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals in the Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute's Ventricular Arrhythmia Center are dedicated to diagnosing and treating patients with ventricular arrhythmias.

Ventricular Arrhythmia Ablation: Major Complications
2022, N = 256
The overall riskᵃ of major complications associated with ventricular arrhythmia ablation at Cleveland Clinic in 2022 was 2.7%, which is lower than the benchmark rate of 10%.¹
| N | Percent | Benchmark Rate (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Major Complications | 7 | 2.7 | 10 |

ᵃThe percentage of overall risk was calculated by dividing the total number of major complications (N = 7) by the total number of ventricular arrhythmia ablation procedures (N = 256).
