Ablation for Flutter - What About my Afib?

by HarryIII, Jun 19, 2008 04:49AM

In April '08 I had Afib. When I reported for my ablation I was in flutter. The operative notes says my flutter was ablated.
Question: did ablating my flutter also fix my Afib?

Thank you

Harry

My ablation in January was for both a-fib and a-flutter. The procedure so far has been a success for both. However, I have a friend who lives out west and she has both a-fb and a-flutter. She had an ablation for a-flutter only (her doctor told her that if he ablates the a-flutter it would fix the a-fib). Well, quess what? Shortly after her ablation for flutter she had to have another one to fix the a-fib.

Thanks.

I saw my cardio's PA and she says the same thing....maybe ablating the flutter also fixes the afib......maybe not.
