Often the first ablation people have doesn't quite take care of the problem (somewhere around 15-20%). Many people require a second ablation, or in my case, I needed to have a repair to my mitral valve. Going on 10 months since my mitral valve repair and have had only a couple A-fib episodes lasting no more than 30 seconds. Check back with your electro-physiologist (EP).
As an aside, I wish people would spell out the first time they use a medical term rather than throwing out acronyms as if everyone knew what they were.

I always have to google what those acronyms mean.

The director of MCC developed a acronyms list. I am not sure how you access it but it list all the acronyms and what they stand for. From time to time she will expand the list with new acronyms.
I know it is frustating but that is why she developed the list. I hope one of the monitors will see this post and give directions on accessing or printing out the list.
With many of us we have so many test, conditions, treatments, etc. that the post would be twice as long typing out the full name. But again emphasize the frustration.
