Thank you for asking. Gosh. They did not do the Convergent procedure. At the last minute (was in the hall going to the procedure room) my electrophysiologist had news. The Echocardiogram results had just come in and he said he didn’t think that my heart would benefit from any more such procedures. The echo showed that my mitral valve was in tatters. The doctor felt that until that repair was completed, nobody would know whether my heart needed any more electrophysiology work!
Now, having had three previous ablations and at least nine echocardiograms over the last ten years, I was just a little surprised. Not one doctor, of any kind, had ever said more than “You have mitral valve prolapse.”
We went home to the correct coast and rescheduled with Cleveland Clinic for a mitral valve replacement. Since then…drumroll… I have not had atrial fibrillation at all. At. All.
There is more to the story. Two chest cracking and a crisis that resulted in my almost dying… but that one is for another day.
