[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1725485, member: 21075"] A few years ago I had some paroxysmal afib going on (flutter and fibulation) and after meeting with an Electrophysiologist decided rather than take meds try an ablation procedure. My doctor ( James-Merrill, MD) scheduled me two weeks later for the procedure and so far no more noted afib since, thank goodness. He does several a week and very experienced (Duke trained) as a lot it takes up to six hours to do the procedure as took around two hours start to finish on me. I still have some nerve pain as he said I had three pulmonary veins instead of four which is rare. Probably why it runs in my family a lot. This procedure is fairly new and they are getting better and better at it. Ablation is a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation. It uses small burns or freezes to cause some scarring on the inside of the heart to help break up the electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats. This can help the heart maintain a normal heart rhythm. [/QUOTE]
