I had two ablations one in 2009 only lasted eight months. Put me on meds that kept me in sinus rhythm and another one in 2017 which only lasted eight months. Cardioverted me at that point and put me on flecainide which has worked for the last 7 years. Just had another episode of almost passing out and went back into A-fib. Flecainide has stopped working for me. They had to cardiovert me again and it only lasted one day. Now on amiodarone and see the heart doctor in two day's and will probably be another ablation. 0ne of the people commented everyone is different. I've heard of people only having it done once and that cured them and also heard of people that have had in done numerous times. Best of luck to you.
