There are pros and cons for GA as well as for sedation.
Many EP dislike having a conscious patient on the table, but some are used to. Many patients fear being conscious during the procedure, but some like it better than having hard times recovering from a GA.
IMO, both the patient and the EP have to feel confortable with their choice.
I've had two ablations with GA, two with CS.

Thanks PomPon. you really put my mind at ease. When the other two said only general I got concerned that the other was 'bad,' what is CS? I am guessing twilight but what does it stand for? For the first part of my first Cath mentioned above I did poke my head up and said, "hey! whose doing this?!" (It is a teaching hospital). I recall nothing from the second...zzzz even though not general

When in a teaching hospital it is worth noting that a doctor, not a resident, is doing the procedure and anesthesia. My doctor told me exactly what to say. But a resident ended up doing my GA and I woke up coughing and spitting out quite a lot of blood (I’m not on blood thinners because I am a bleeder somewhat). It’s 3 weeks post cryo ablation for me now and I still don’t feel 100%. Coughing only became much less and normal, 3 days ago. Teaching hospitals are good. But you have to specify who will do the orocedure(s) in my opinion.
