Yes, the Dr is with the Cleveland Clinic. I have been on the list and have to wait until Sept due to the amount of ablation's he is doing. They said he does 2 a day.... everyday. It's still very upsetting to me knowing they are going to be inside my heart. I hope I can go through with it. The flutter has calmed down over the past several days. I've been drinking lots of water and getting more rest than I normally do. Thanks for responding.
I would say go for it...you are far too young to deal with this the rest of your life. If you are going to a reputable place and having it done by an electrophysiologist you trust, and who has had lots of experience, then you should have it done in Sept. Is your Dr. with the Cleveland Clinic? That would certainly count as a reputable place to have it done. Good Luck!
thanks for responding. I will look at the journals.
The Cleveland Clinic is very good with some of the best physicians in the field. That said, the procedure yields mixed results and is not a sure thing as it is for conditions like SVT. I along with a number of other here have undergone the procedure, and can answer any question you may have. The procedure carries a minimal risk. I would suggect that you look at the journal of a member here called "Jannie411". If you search her name, then look into her journal, she gives a very good account of her procedure. You can also look at mine by click on my name, and calling up my journals as well. "Ten of thousands" would certainly be worth the attempt in my opinion, especially at the C.C. Good luck!
