Can a 90 year old have an ablation for an arrhythmia?

While age was once a more significant limiting factor for invasive procedures, medical advancements have shifted the focus to a patient's overall health. It is possible for a 90-year-old to have an ablation, but eligibility depends on a comprehensive evaluation rather than age alone. For older adults, the decision involves weighing potential benefits against individual health factors, such as the presence of other medical conditions.
