Anyone had one, due to make a decision next week. My AF is getting worse despite medication increases.
Go for it,had it done 10 years ago absolutely changed my life. Best decision I ever made was to get it done.Anyone had one, due to make a decision next week. My AF is getting worse despite medication increases.
My side affects other than the constipation are really bad joint pain wrist, elbow, shoulder and neck these have materialised once taking my tablets and have worsened badly with increased rates. I go into AF with strenuous work, chasing sheep!!!!etc and if I miss taking a tablet.Some detailed info here.
I don't know what side effects there are from your medications. I presume if successful, the ablation would negate the need for them. You will have a needle poke hole in your upper thigh, that is it. I have seen it done.

Good to hear - had another short svt this evening, fortunately resolved!I`ve had the pleasure of watching such procedures at work, we are about as "cutting edge" as it gets. Most of the time the surgeon is in a seperate room using something like a PS3 controller!
We are also trialling the use of live 3D modelling during the procedure.
