Heightened stroke risk is a well know is a side of ablation's. In the week or two after they are done tend to spin off clots, and that's when mine happened. However, to put that risk into perspective, stroke is also a well known side effect of the thing ablation's treat - arrhythmias. Unlike the risk from ablation's, the risk caused by arrhythmias goes on for life, and goes up as they get worse over time - which they almost inevitably do.
