Anyone have this procedure? Dr wants me to have this due to many problems with meds. Already have the watchman.

I had an AV ablation seven years ago with a pacemaker but I'm still in Afib 90 percent of the time.

My husband is have this procedure done tomorrow and he is scared. I have read bad and good things about it. His EP stated that is the last resort to his consistent flutter and weaking of his heart. His EP is the best and he couldn't be in no better place than Mayo but it's only human for him to feel this way.
Can you elaborate as to quality of life after your AV Node Ablation?

My AV node Ablation and pacemaker was life changing for me. I had no problem with it but I'm still in a fib in upper chambers but I don't feel it. Good luck to your husband

Thank you for the quick reply. He had the AV Node ablation today and he says he feels a difference for sure. I hope he has the same results as you describe. Thank you again for sharing. I will share as much as I can on this procedure so other people like me looking for information on this procedure.
