Ablation- risking a pacemaker??

So I just met up with the doctor who’s gonna do the ablation. He warned me that there is a “low risk” that depending on where the problem is if it’s too close to the good parts there’s a small chance that when he zaps it it’ll zap them too. And as a result I’ll have to be put on a pacemaker. He said he’s very good, and in 20 some odd years he’s only ever had to put in two- BUT THATS A LOT MORE THAN ZERO.

So now that’s in my head. I’m wondering if this is a good idea at all now. Should I look for another doctor? Is this the risk worth it? *is 2 in 20 years a good record??*
