Speak with EP doc: It's important to clarify this with the elctrophysiologist performing the procedure. There are different styles that all fall within the standard of care and can be dependent on more data than can be gathered in this setting. Thus, it's better to clarify the timing ASAP, rather than risk delaying the procedure, or increasing your personal risk of stroke or bleeding complications.

Variable: Ultimately depends on who's doing the procedure however underlying kidney function and bleeding risk of surgery or procedure helps determining timing. Anywhere from 24 hours in low risk surgery with normal kidney function to 4 days for higher risk surgery in compromised kidney function. Probably in your case about 48 hours but check with your own doctor. Good luck!
