Dr John Bourke is a fantastic heart rhythm specialist. You're in good hands!
Generally, the success rate of catheter ablation is 40-70% for the first procedure, but there are many factors to consider (type of AF, technique used, the individual patient). Most people require more than one ablation for long term results.
You could request ablation success rates from the hospital.
