I had an ablation apparently on the right side, but still keep having attacks of afib/tachycardia which take me into hospital by ambulance as an emergency.
The consultant telephoned me yesterday and said that he thought another ablation was probably necessary as I couldn't go on having these increasing attacks. However he said that the left side was very risky and a hard long procedure. Risky in that it could cause heart attack, stroke, bleeding.
I did say that the last consultant at St George said the same thing during the initial interview, but it was OK. He replied yes, but that was on the right side.
Question and help please (and I know we cannot give medical advice), but has anyone had this particular ablation. I'm sure I can't be the only one.
Especially worried as one cardiologist said he wanted to do a pacemaker, but the EP wanted this other ablation.
Best wishes all
