Wanted to know if anyone had the procedure and experience. I'm setup to go in tomorrow. There is no other place to get honest and/or nonsense feedback as here. Really not looking forward to having to keep my leg still for a few hours. Did that for a test before my brain surgery 22 yrs ago.
You'll also have some soreness around where the catheter goes in, but it sounds like you knew that already.
Good luck!
She was had no A Fib post surgery for almost 12 months, then it returned.
Sometimes it's either really hard to pinpoint the exact location causing the A Fib or it's in multiple locations.
The worse surgery she had was to remove the "Watchman"? When in through both sides of her rib cage. Very painful.
The other 3 ablations weren't too bad.
Good luck!
It’s a quick recovery, virtually painless, just hope they isolate the area in need and it takes.
Good Luck to you!!!!
My A-Fib converted to A-Flutter after they did the Cardioversion.
Success is pretty good if you have the "paroxysmal" form (comes and goes spontaneously), a little less good if you have the persistent form. Ironically I also have been a candidate for the procedure but have elected not to do it for reasons too complicated to explain here.
The risk is very low, but not zero. Newark-Beth Israel should be a pretty good place for it. Good luck!!
