Experiences with

Cryoablation

Hi everyone I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal AF in Feb this year......tried 3 different drugs, but none of them was controlling my episodes......so tomorrow, I’m going to have my Cryoablation. I’ve been reading all the posts on here for several weeks now......this is a wonderful community forum !

Hi All I was diagnosed with PAF in September last year and had a cryoablation in July this year,my symptoms were very mild, I am a keen cyclist and wasn’t aware I had it until it was diagnosed and then realised that I was having some episodes while out riding which was making some rides harder than they

I told the cardiologist who prescribed them and he basically said the meds are not working and your down on the list for a cryoablation but could be months or more. He said it was up to me if i wanted to continue with the meds, i got the impression he wasnt bothered either way.

Hi everyone Well.....I had my Cryoablation yesterday ! The procedure took 2 hours......I had local anaesthetic for the groin, and the 2 sedatives, Midazolam and Fentanyl in the cannula, which were supposed to make me a bit woozy but relaxed, so I didn’t fidget !

The Arctic Front Advance Cryoablation System is approved in Europe for the treatment of AF.

Hi all, just giving you a quick update, this might be useful for anyone planning to have an ablation: 2 years ago today I had my first (and hopefully last) cryoablation procedure at Liverpool heart & chest hospital.

Last year, I had atrial flutter, sorted by a cryoablation. This year, I developed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, which lasted around 3.5 days before disappearing. I'm generally quite OK with walking several miles a day (I'm 70) and don't feel emotionally stressed.

Dear all Six weeks since my paf was treated by cryoablation and I think all going well.i have read the fact sheet and I am getting some short lived palpitations and chest a little tight if I do too much. Anxious of course. I am 61 years old and not too overweight and no other illnesses.

Within 48 hours of my recent cryoablation I went back into persistent AFib with a rapid heart rate of 158bpm. Prior to the ablation my heart rate was 80bpm. Twelve days later I had a cardioversion that kept me in NSR for just three days.

my husband had cryoablation 7 years ago and has just got less and less able to function, he now has low blood pressure as well as fatigue but the specialists can't find any reason for it so can't treat it anyone able to offer any help

Had my cryoablation yesterday and all went well. I went into af very quickly into the procedure which meant it only lasted for around 1 hr 15 mins. I have to admit that It wasn't the most pleasant of experiences but not bad enough to put me off going through again if I needed to.

He says the earlier I have cryoablation the more successful it will be and its more likely to slow down progression in the longer term if I avoid going into AF at all.

It's been two years since my cryoablation. After a few months, things settled down and there was much improvement. I haven't had an AF episode for about seven months now. During those 2 years, I would occasionally have ectopics for a while.

Cryoablation two months on This might be helpful for someone recovering from this same operation especially if they were previously pretty fit and sporty and looking to get back into that healthy way of life. I found it really difficult to find out much information for the younger (comparatively!)

Hi just had telephone call with EP who has advised a CRYOABLATION as my AF is now more frequent,he explained it very well including the downside of any operation which has stopped me agreeing to this before,I have agreed this time any advice is welcome and also about recovery my son has already asked

Recently beat and killed my breast cancer 02/19/20 with Cryoablation. Never give up. Prayers to all to Stay Safe!

I had my cryoablation done 2 years and up until now I have been in NSR and med free.

Ps saw a video animation of cryoablation! WOW, HOW clever?! Incredible!

He specializes in cryoablation (freezing of heart tissue). The operation went well except for the one-night hospital stay. I had heavy bruising for about 2 weeks following the operation.

So I'm almost 2 years post my cryoablation and had been feeling fine except for today. I feel the AFib back right now and I know I need to call my cardiologist but I'm so scared to do so. It seemed to come out of nowhere. I can't concentrate and am having trouble holding it together.
