Experiences with

Catheter ablation

He said that a Catheter Ablation is 70-80% successful in people like me. I had it in November last year and I have not knowingly had a period of Afib yet, although I am going to have another monitor fitted to check.

I'm so worried about quitting cold turkey that I feel so ill in anticipation, any advice or anything relating to this would be very much appreciated thank you and also your catheter ablation stories would be good too Many thanks

Catheter ablation is a a very popular treatment of SVT, it is a successful procedure, your consultant will decide if this is the best form of treatment for you.

had catheter ablation January 13th this year , no AF since BUT when I bend over to clean bath or wash my hair my heart rate shoots upto 161 beats per minute is this normal it does settle down after a couple of minutes or so and I don’t go into AF thank god, but is this normal, I know it’s still early

concerned about the safety of having a catheter ablation. Google not helping. Seems like abundance of positives on this forum. Any negatives? First one eight years ago and thinking about a second. I am in US and some excellent eps here.

Catheter ablation As I feel well I am reluctant to do anything. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Has anyone had pain or nerve injury from the catheter being placed in the femoral vein? I was told they will put 2 to 3 catheters in the right femoral vein? No where else. I have a neurological condition of nerve disorder that is near that area. Thanks

Hi I am due to have Catheter Ablation in a couple of weeks and just wondering for those of you who have gone through the post op term, do you feel better? Has it made much of a difference? I get very short of breath and breathe heavily even after a short walk and I'm hoping this will go.

I had a catheter ablation in June 2024. My AF hasn’t gone away. This is disheartening for me. Has anyone got a similar experience?

Ablation for SVT Catheter ablation is carried out in a cardiac catheter laboratory, a room similar to an operating theatre, catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure, it is usually performed under local aesthetic to make you sleepy.

Catheter ablation for SVT is a minimally invasive procedure which is a highly successful treatment for SVT suitable from children through to adulthood.

My dad needs to do catheter ablation. But in our country Slovenia the waiting line is 3 years so he is thinking to do the procedure abroad. I am wondering if anybody know for any good doctor/clinic in Europe and how much does this procedure cost? Thank you!

I had a catheter ablation 2 years ago. I haven't had a bad AF episode since then but I have noticed that when I haven't slept well I get more ectopics. Is this a common occurrence, do any of you have had the same experience? I haven't been able to find any literature on this topic.

My heart returned to NSR however, my cardiology team still recommended a catheter ablation, which was performed on October 11th. I went in, and came out of hospital in NSR. All was well for 10 days but now my AF has returned. I'm a bit bewildered, and not a little concerned.

I understand that success rate of catheter ablation is 50% in those with persistent AF and some studies show that recurrence rate of AF after ablation those with anaemia is high.

I had my Catheter Ablation on 25th July, all ok and back into Sinus Rhythm. Previously been running for 15yrs. I would like some advise on returning to running; ie when to start back safely so as not to revert to Atrial Fibrillation.

Had catheter ablation in March then few weeks later started having episodes where I am conscious but can’t respond to people for a few minutes, have a feeling across chest before they happen. I’ve now had over 40 of these.

I’m closely following an Australian company Imracor who has done European tests on its new MRI guided Catheter ablation method and now a couple of months ago started at John Hopkins in the US… the ablations conducted initially are for Atrial Flutter.
