Greetings all….
I have had 2 “full” ablations by Natale -first was to the usual areas for afib, second was to isolate the LAA (I had flutter after ablation number 1). Then had a watchman put in this last summer (he also did a short Touchup due to some tachycardia that started about 6 months after ablation number 2). So we are now 6 months since my watchman and short Touchup, and I am having a ton of premature beats. Just finished a 7 day halter to provide more detail, but it’s multiple hours a day of pac’s/pvc’s….it doesn’t create any sustained arrhythmias - yet - it’s just nsr with supra-ventricular ectopics…and I feel every one of them.
I know I can medicate with flecanide for the time being for relief, but anybody else still dealing with this stuff after 3 ablations? Any suggestions from the group? Thanks for any suggestions!

That's unsettling, Carey. Are you saying that it's not uncommon to get Afib back after getting a LAA ablation, a flutter ablation and then a Watchman, all with Dr. Natale? That's my afib experience too....it's been 9 years since the 2nd ablation (flutter), and all has been quiet. Hoping it stays that way forever.....Barb
