Ablation for atrial flutter

I'm just out the Golden jubilie hospital Scotland after having ablation for my atrial flutter and I can honestly say I've had far worse dentist treatment and that's no joking!

Fingers crossed it helps me

Thank you for an excellent post.

For me the biggest problems with the ablation were organising the travel arrangements and the fact that they were gaining access via my groin. I am sure that I would have been less alarmed if they were going in through the chest wall or wrist.

As Bob said canal root treatment is worse, and the half hour I had with the dental hygienist yesterday wasn't much fun - but at least I got to drive myself home.

Now get plenty of rest to allow the burns in your heart to heal.

Great stuff Kaiser. Hope it works out really well, mine did. Like you said, I thought the procedure was a non-event, in fact after half a day of being groggy, I felt fantastic. Went round thanking all the nurses, so embarrassing when the drugs wore off :-/

Hope everything goes well for you. I've not needed anything but 2.5mg bisoporol so don't know what you're going through just now.

All the best.

Same as me, no regrets at all, I've just taken off my third holter check up after my ablation in July.

I've been in sinus 99.99% of the time since which feels great, I get a few ectopic beats, I still fell I have Afib but that it's finally under control.

I'd have another tomorrow if needed
