If it isn’t my leg or my lungs it’s my heart.
They have this ablation procedure scheduled for mid January.
Has anyone here or anyone you know ever had cardiac ablation?
Call me a pussy but I’m not sure I can go through with it.
You’re awake for entire (2-4 hr) procedure.

I suggest investigating your Doctor or Doctors.

at the Courthouse in the Civil Records section.

==> FIND OUT <== about any bad outcomes they've had

then try and talk with the patients involved.


THEN talk with your doctor or doctors about what happened in those cases.

You will learn things, and read things, that may raise your eye-brows.

If your doctor(s) aren't willing to discuss those cases with you - then HOPE is involved in your surgery.

You don't want to depend on hope.

You want to depend on Cold Hard Facts.

I make cardiac ablation first time when i have 15 years, and make second one month ago. Does not solve my cardiac arrytmya

I did it twice in Brazil and I'm alive you're safe. My first ablation was without sedation and it was horrible very painful and a lot of anxiety.The second ablation was with sedation and I saw nothing. the two operations were unsuccessful. I need to make a cryoablation this time..
My case is a rare exception.
Good luck.
My english is poor.

my mother had it done, was a pretty invasive surgery for her, it was several years ago though. Corrected her afib, but she still has some episodes.

I’ve done a lot of research about this and it’s not something I really want to do, however I was in a car accident earlier this year and rushed to a local trauma hospital.
I have no memory of any of it except waking up at the hospital several hours later.
During the testing etc they said I had a cardiac episode that caused me to faint and subsequently suspended my drivers license.
All the doctors that I’ve seen to try and fill out the reinstatement forms have said only the cardiologist can do it.
So if I refuse this procedure I’m back at square one.
My back is to the wall on this one as I see no other way to get reinstated.
When I went for assessment a couple weeks ago the cardiologist brought up the license suspension, so I guess that they’re well aware they have you by the balls.

The accident I had from cardiac syncope (fainting due to heart issues)
Made the news , major damage.
Thank god I was the only one hurt.
I was told by cops 3-4 seconds sooner and I would have been killed.

I know someone that cured their intermittent AFIB by taking Taurine. (3 times more a day than the recommended dose written on the bottle.)

So I had a talk with my family dr about this ablation and told him the only way I would agree to this is to be under general anaesthetic.
He said I should call the cardiologist to discuss.
Cardiologist has been on holidays til tomorrow but I did talk to his secretary today and she said it’s highly unusual to be put under but she will discuss it with dr tomorrow and let me know.
If he doesn’t agree , I can’t/won’t go through with it.
There is no chance in hell that I will lay still for 3 hours while they stick catheters thru my friggin groin.

they will do conscious sedation, and the procedure done via a catheter is minimally invasive. Thats the one you want over the other route. My moms they went in between the ribs on the right side.
