So basically what Carey and Smackman are saying is, a successful ablation is one that, after the initial blanking period, should not require meds? I guess I was confused by all the posts about WM devices to eliminate the use NOACs of some here who were ablated. By the way, great reports from you and most who visit that facility.

It is common and not rare the touchup ablation can include the LAA isolation.

Seems like every time I think I understand a concept I read something else only to find out I don’t understand squat. I would like to get off needing to take a NOAC in the hopes of being able to take some anti inflammatory meds which would greatly improve my QOL. But, if I understand this discussion correctly, that may not be possible even following an ablation or something type of LAA isolation procedure including a watchman. Say it ain’t so.
