Does anyone know the Fluoroscopy times for a typical Natale Ablation? Is the radiation exposure minimal? And are there adverse side effects from the radiation used? Thanks!

Naturally, they use the minimum possible (for your sake AND theirs). Radiation exposure will depend on duration of the procedure and your body weight (large people need more energy). It's a trivial amount of radiation and has no adverse side effects.
