PFA Ablation experiences

I've just received the good news that I have a date for my first ablation which is 31st March at the Blackrock Clinic in Dublin and I've been advised that I'll be given the Pulsed Field Ablation. First of all, any experiences or advice for the PFA procedure? I've been told it will be under general anaesthetic. And secondly, has anyone on this forum been treated at the Blackrock Clinic and if so, who was their EP and what was the experience like? And lastly, could someone point me to the Pre- and Post-Ablation helpful guides. I was linked to them before but now can't find the link and think I should reacquaint myself with them! Many thanks.

Have a look at my post yesterday "AF and AI" which coincidentally covered PFA

Thanks MarkS. Yes, I'd read that report previously. Was just hoping for some responses from anyone who'd had PFA. Certainly the indications are positive and less risky but I suppose it's the longevity of it that still seems to be unclear and if there are different complications down the road.
