A significant number of patients with bradycardia or sick-sinus or its variants also have afib. So the heart can beat too slowly when in NSR and too quickly in AF. So even after PVI ablation there might still be a need for a pacemaker to set a floor on NSR rate. There might also be issues with variability that need to be addressed. I would assume this would be discussed and signed off on before the procedure, but I am not as confident as others to say it couldn't happen. You would have to read the details of the permission that you sign, and make sure they coincide with your understanding and desires.

Unless the doctor counter-signs those changes I doubt they would have any legal weight.
But this really just isn't a concern. The only way you might wake up with an unexpected pacemaker would be if something happened during the procedure that made it a lifesaving requirement. That's something I've never heard of happening and it's hard to imagine how it even could happen.
