How many of you had a second ablation and needed a watchman because the LAA was isolated? May 20, 2020 09:39PM |

Dr Natale asked how many doses I had taken prior to the cardiovert. It was 2 and one since the cardiovert. I’m really hoping multaq will protect me.Quote

I took 3 doses of multaq since yesterday. How many doses before I am protected?
There's not really a good answer to that question than "now."

Although, in approx. 58% of patients who must undergo an LAA Iso at the end of one's ablation in order to achieve durable freedom from all Atrial Arrhythmia, those 58% will have reduced enough mechanical pumping action to only the LAA itself that will require them to either stay on life-long anti-coagulation, and/or under LAA closure via an endocardial Watchman Occulsion device installation or via an epicardial applied LAA Ligation option such as the LARIAT that I had done (well before the Watchman had been FDA approved), or via the epicardial ATRICLIP ligation system typically installed by a Cardiovascular Surgeon.

This should be ablation 101 education given to those considering the procedure so they can make a fully informed decision. Before my ablation I new nothing of LAA isolation or the probability of reduced a pumping action.

I didn’t know ablation of the LAA affects ones heart’s pumping capacity! Does it lower ones ventricle ej rate %? Shannon or Casey or George can you give me some info?
Please read my response to Leo right before the post you're getting alarmed about.

I did beforehand. “ What it can do in about 60% of patient is reduce the LAA's ability to pump effectively”.
Thus my post. I’m getting pac often since the cardiovert. Always happens after a cardiovert. Then I have to use my watch ekg for 5-7 beats to see if I am in nsr. That’s why I’m on alert and sometimes alarmed with AF, hospitals and covid19.
