had my ablation yesterday

[bumble72]

Well had the ablation yesterday.  Don't want to say too much about the procedure as I don't want to scarepeople off.  it was however a success.  they have given me a 1% chance of having to go in again.  the extra pathway was very close to my av node so if I do have to go in again it will prob mean a pacemaker.

Glad to know your ablation was a success.  I was awake and aware during my ablation in September '07.  I experienced no pain, though, so it went OK.  My bad pathway was also very near my AV Node.  I was given an 80% success rate afterwards because they couldn't get as close as they really wanted to.  At my 3 month follow-up, I had been episode free, so I was told that I only have a 2% chance of every having anymore SVT.  I'm now 8 months out from the procedure and haven't had any SVT episodes at all, but I do get some PVC's now and then.   Hope all goes well for you from here on out!!

bumble72.....GREAT news on the ablation success.  I'm sorry if the experience was not what you expected.  I can't understand why some people have more difficulty than others....technique, location, facility???  

Very happy to hear of the success!!!
