Flutter Ablation

[higgy52]

Had Ablation for persistent A F,witch took 9 months to settle down, now got to have a Ablation for Flutter, does it take just as long to recover from.

Thanks

My ablation for perimitral atrial flutter (in the left atrium) took one hour. I had no complications, no groin bruising, barely a few cuts for the catheters. that was the good news. The bad news is four months later I am still going in and out of arrhythmia.

When you say, "9 months to settle down," do you mean you were then in sinus for a while -- for how long-- for the flutter to then appear.

Hi cuore,

Was getting A F regular and fast heart rate a week after Ablation, Did go back into normal rhythm for few weeks then back to fast heart rate, went to see E P and had E C G he said i am in normal rhythm but now got flutter witch i thought was tacacardia, at least the A F is gone witch took 9 months,
