Is there a time constraint for PFA procedure after diagnosis of Afib?

Thanks of the reply. I live in SW Colorado (Mancos Valley) and no hospitals in this area are certified to provide any ablation procedures. I either have to fly to Denver or Phoenix (the only 2 cites severed). I am currently in discussions with University of Colorado Medical Center regarding the potential for a PFA procedure. Nothing goes fast when you live in a rural community.

I live in the county yet I am within 15 miles and 10 miles of 2 major medical centers attached to Universities. It doesn't go that fast here.
Smart move to call Colorado Medical Center and get hooked up so they know you are flying in from afar.

If you have the resources, please consider either Dr. Andrea Natale at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute in Austin, or Dr. Pasquale Santangeli at the Cleveland Clinic. Those two are very busy, highly sought, and highly regarded EPs. Natale has privileges in eight or ten hospitals across the country and travels to them.
