I have been in Persistent AF for 9 months and have been waiting for a DVT and PE clot to dissolve before trying a Cardioversion. I have recently been told I shouldn't have to wait for the clot to clear before having this procedure. I am seeing my cardiologist on Thursday and I'm going to ask why we have been waiting and/or ask him to recommend an EP as he isn't.
I realise the longer I wait the less the chances a CV will work, but I'm hoping that I can get a NSR long enough to show whether an Ablation will be an option.
Has anyone had a cardioversion or know any reason why I can't have one whilst still having a DVT clot?
