While still on the operating table, right after my third ablation (May 27, 2019), I did ask my electrophysiologist , Dr. P. Jais ( #9 in the above reference) whether pulsed electric field would help when he told me that I was one of the most complicated cases at the six month stage and that that was all he could do until new technologies come about.

His answer was that it was not for me. In the follow-up appointment , I forgot to ask him why. Maybe it was because I had already had extensive ablation.
