I’ve been in constant afib for 8 months now. Had a number of cardio versions and only stayed in NSR for 2 hours. Also had an ablation, NSR lasted 2 days. Two months later I tried the anti arrhythmic drug Tikosyn. Unfortunately I developed prolong QT and the medication was stopped. I’m now scheduled to have another ablation the end of the month with another EP in NY. I’m hoping this time it’s successful. It appears I’m running out of options. Does anyone have an ablation success story to share? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180527#msg-180527 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 16:56:42 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180958#msg-180958 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180958#msg-180958 aldona AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 31 May 2021 09:30:51 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180581#msg-180581 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180581#msg-180581 Mabmedz AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 08 May 2021 04:35:18 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180573#msg-180573 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180573#msg-180573
The most important thing is to go to a real expert. There are many EPs doing ablations who don’t have the experience and skill to be successful - it's a very difficult procedure to do well.

This is where a more experienced EP is your best choice.]]> rocketritch AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 04 May 2021 22:08:09 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180535#msg-180535 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180535#msg-180535
For almost all of us (speculation), afib will be back at some point, it's just a matter of how well the electrophysiologist has done his (her) job. Highly experienced ones provide better "success" stories. Expert repairs are done by the best "mechanics" and there aren't many in the best "mechanics" category in the US doing ablations.]]> Ken AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 04 May 2021 13:58:06 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180527#msg-180527 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,180527,180527#msg-180527 Mabmedz AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 04 May 2021 01:47:00 +0000
