Yikes is right!! I’ll call and see what my doctor is doing but I thought 2 months ago when they scheduled the ablation I think it said PVI, but I guess that’s what they’re all called? I’ve been trying to read up on allot of stuff with me never hearing of it all before.. I thought there was only 1 ablation so I didn’t think to ask the doctor..

PVI I think is pulmonary vein isolation which is where they enter through your groin. Now I do not know is if PVI is used on the various ablations, cryo, RFA radio frequency ablation (heat) and or PFA pulsed field ablation.

My brother had to have 3 ablations and the 3rd one worked. Off all heart meds, AFIB fixed. He is 72.
