Pulse field ablation for 83 year old

I’ve had afib/aflutter for 19 years but worse since hospital stay for hypertension 2 years ago. My cardiologist is excited about this new pulse field ablation (approved in US in January 2024). Has anyone my age -83-had this? I’m on beta blocker for afib now. Seems to be okay except when I’m anxious which is a lot of the time. I take 1/4 of 0.5 mg lorazepam during day to help with anxiety, and the other 3/4 of 0.5 mg at night.
