I have my first ablation scheduled for Monday morning at University of Penn's EP lab, and tonight I was reading some older posts in the Affiber's forum and saw that the standard time to stop Flecainide before the ablation is 5 days, whereas I was told only to stop it the night before... but there's more to the story.

The first study states that that only 65% of patients were inducible at all, so obviously a skilled EP can perform the procedure without inducing afib.

The ablation seems to have been a success. When I asked my EP about stopping the Flecainide only the night before, he almost scoffed at it, saying he'll easily be able to induce afib in me. Also he said that my afib was "bread and butter" and that he expected only a PVI would be necessary, but he'd look for other non-PV triggers.
