3 month post ablation anniversary—how long is the blanking period?

Yesterday I had my pacemaker interrogated and had no af since 6-26–my first af then flutter since my latest (3rd) ablation. I was excited and emailed dr N’s NP to tell her the good news.

So I had a breakout of af/flutter/STV two months after my ablation and now this morning exactly three months after my ablation and a half a day after my PM tweaking I went into tachycardia af and then a steady 148 flutter/who knows what hr.

Am I technically still in blanking or am I now again creating new pathways?

Experiencing another episode doesn't mean you've formed new pathways. Flutter following an ablation is generally due to the procedure itself, not a disease process.
