I went to the Brompton on 30th May for a routine heart ablation which sadly went wrong, I was not told I could have a bleed in the heart and this happened thankfully 36 hours after the procedure I was unwell and due to drug allergies I was still in hospital trailing Ivabradine therefore thankfully here to tell my tale. Had a cardiac arrest and then due to the tamponade had open heart surgery on the ward , 10 days in hospital and still getting over the trauma, I found the hospital not very helpful, did not get an OT discharge and prognosis and still waiting for the follow up. It was a massive shock to myself and the family what happened and rather scary too. I have had an echo and halter and waiting to hear if the operation was successful to stop the arrhythmia but think the original ablation worked. The consultant I am under is not very forthcoming with information
