EP's for chronic/persistent Afib

I have decided to have my PVA(I) at Cleveland Clinic. I am having a problem finding an EP that specializes in Chronic/Persistent A-Fib cases. I have a list of 14 EP's but I do not know who specializes in Persistent cases. Can the doctor provide me with a list of Cleveland EP the handle only cases of Persistent/ Chronic Afib cases not just a list of EP's at Cleveland.

Please, Please provide a list that specialize in Chronic/ Persistent case as I already have a list of EP's.

PVA is the intitials used for a boilerplate ablation....meaning the ablation where the docs go thru the vein in the groin or neck area (optional) and into the heart to do the procedure.
Pulmonary Vein Ablation.

I would think that you should be able to call Cleveland Clinic and they can direct you to the EP's that specialize in a-fib and a-fib ablations.

What is PVA(l)?  I am also near the Cleveland Clinic and have heard good things about the hospital. There is a very good hospital in my hometown (UofM) in An Arbor, MI that has an Afib clinic.  I'm thinking toward the future as I am doing pretty much okay right now.

I have deleted what appears to be duplicate post by you.  It did not have any responses.

I do not understand your question: " Can the doctor provide me with a list of Cleveland EP..." as I don't know which doctor you are referring to.  To this I would suggest that the Cleveland Clinic would be willing to answer your question.
