post ablation

After three years I have had an RF ablation. I hope it will be successful. I did not want any extra pain killers but I did feel each and everyone of the burning. I cannot say it was painful just a little uncomfortable. According to my EP it is successful and he will bring me into the hospital in 6 weeks time and do a TOE to make sure that my clot has not returned and another cardioversion. I am so glad to have met this man as others had written me off and my GP did not want to know. It is so reassuring that there are some who are interested to go further.

That's great news, but unsure of why you need a cardioversion if the ablation has been a success?

As I had an AV ablation last December which did not work as it should and a cardioversion in May, it could be he wants to hedge his bets so I don`t have another failure. I shall have to wait and see.
