Three years from diagnosis
This was followed six months later by a
catheter
ablation
on the inside of the heart that completed the maze box set, did a CTI line for flutter and cleared up any rogue signals. In between, I was amiodarone for six weeks to stabilise me.

This left atria business for flutter ?
Questions: Can this puncturing and left
ablation
be done by
catheter
or is a chest entry required ? If the valve is involved, can the pathway from that be ablated or am I then into an open chest operation ? I feel strong, and they say (after stress tests) that my plumbing is excellent.

Hello my name is Shay. I have been experiencing pelvic pain for over 6 years now.

They couldn't diagnose it because it takes a surgical procedure to fully diagnose. I have been

My husband has just had a
catheter
ablation
, his first one, last Thursday. He’s having really bad headaches, is this expected? I will give the gp a ring on Monday if no better but just wondered if this is ‘normal’

Catheter ablation with emphysema
I am scheduled for ablation next month. I have read many post of successful procedures. My concern is that the burns that are mad in the heart get close to the pulmonary veins . Has anyone with emphysema had a good outcome even though they have lung conditions. Would love to hear feedback from anyone

Week 6 - the AV node ablate
Well, I finally had the AV node ablation last Thursday in Bristol. Compared with my previous procedures , it was by far the easiest and quickest. The transfer of pacing from my own heart pacemaker to the artificial pacemaker was seamless and I was unaware that it had happened. The impact this time

Low heart rate 2 months after Pacemaker and AV node ablation

Groin problems post ablation

Recovery after Catheter Ablation
I had an ablation treatment last Thursday 27th Dec, it went well, so I gather, but I understand that it was more complicated than anticipated. It took some time to complete the investigative part of the treatment and then five locations were identified and I then received 5 "burns". The whole treatment

Ventricular Ectopic Beats - Possible short term relief
But after trying all of the available solutions such as medicines and a failed attempt at
catheter
ablation
(failed because the ectopics stopped before they got the wire in) there is one thing I can do that gives me considerable relief. When they are bad I take a dose of an antacid called Gaviscon.

After AV node ablation and pacemaker implant.
I have not posted for sometime as I only had this procedure in December 2018. Although considered a success by my EP it is not a complete success by me. I feel as if I have spent three years going in a circle (this I told him) as the breathlessness is not resolved. He is going to cardiovert me with

PM implanted but scared of AV node ablation
I had a pacemaker fitted four weeks ago because of Parosysmal AF and am due to have an AV node ablation in two weeks. I am coping with having the PM, but am terrified of having the AV node ablated. I am usually fine between AF episodes and it really scares me to think of losing my natural heartbeat
