Yes, I had an alcohol septal ablation at Mayo Jacksonville, Florida in March. It was successful and I did not need a pacemaker after it was over. Before the procedure, my aortic valve stenosis was rated severe. I had to have the alcohol ablation before the valve could be replaced. After the ablation, the echocardiogram showed the aortic valve stenosis as moderate, so it looks like I will not be having the valve replacement anytime soon.
The alcohol septal ablation was amazing. I was awake although given medication to relax me. There was absolutely no pain during or after. I’m 86 years old so they would not do open-heart surgery on me.
