re: Afib Ablation Procedure

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.
