Cathy, I have to say I am glad to meet another patient who received the TT Maze treatment. You are the only person I have "met" who has. Yes, indeed, our experiences are not the same, given the 20+ years in between the time of our procedures and not doubt technological improvements in that time. But you were a trailblazer!

I am glad that your final ablation was curative. My experience was the opposite. I had 5 ablations first, all of which worked for a time, but didn't stay corrective, nor did medication. I think and hope this surgery is the last one I will need. (And yes, I too still have moments and hours of on/off PACs which I am trying to learn to just ignore and banish from my mind!) No a-fib for 67 days now, and the longest I have gone without it for probably 20 years.

I honor and applaud all of us who, when we get our lives tangled in these arrhythmias, fight on with science and hope and our will to have a better life. Blessings to all. JR
