Afib Ablation Procedure

My mother did. Was life changing. You should feel optimistic.

My dad has had it twice. He has active AFIB. The docs have pretty much given up getting him back in sync.

My husband had it done in December.


His afib was not severe and I don’t think he needed it.

I work in the cardiac icu and have taken care of ppl who’ve had it done and had horrible complications- one even died.

So I was adamantly against my hubs having it done- but he didn’t listen to me and had it done. He still has afib but at least he didn’t die.


There’s a saying that the only routine procedure is the one that is not being done on you. Every procedure can have devastating complications.

So I’d say- if you can manage your afib with meds- I’d try that first.
