Whole thing FREAKS me out. Had a simple angiogram few years back and got shit for moving. Had several angioplastys on my leg and always insisted on a general, one doctor said they would do a spinal with sedation and I said no, he finally said ok to a general. Can only do this under general anaesthetic. I can’t even deal with it when they take blood.

Is it radiofrequency or surgical? Perhaps second opinion? Primary focus is to scar tissue to allow heart to beat normally. Always ask what are the options on procedures...radiofrequency or catheter ablation is least invasive. Good luck!

Dr’s office called and set an appointment for tomorrow morning to discuss everything.
We will see how it goes as the procedure is booked for next Wednesday.

Met with the cardiologist today and he said that he’s going to do electrophysiology first which only takes about an hour. Then they will decide to do ablation or implantable defibrillator.
He also said that they do conscious sedation, local anaesthetic, pain killers and Valium but you’re awake. I said no. So he decided that if he’s going to do general anaesthetic he would also do angioplasty at the same time due to a double bypass I had 17 years ago, because he said there is a strong possibility of blockages. He said the grafts usually last about 10 years and mine are almost 18. So pre-op is Friday then procedure is next Wednesday. Based on my experience with anaesthesia doctors he will try and talk me into the conscious sedation. But it’s my way or no way. At least I got the cardiologist to agree with it.

IMHO you should not go against medical advice.
