Unfortunately no. In my case it worsened the fibrillation and required also the fitting of a bi-ventricular pacemaker.

Let us all note that this concerns valvular PAF and the vast majority of AFib sufferers have lone AF with no co conditions so whilst it may benefit a few people who do have valvular AF it is not a cure as such for most.
Docs at local hosp offered no guarantees at all, that work on the mitral valve would stop AF, . Seems once prone to AF at best it lurks in the background Not good news.
