Ablation for Afib

I had a PFA done at UC Health in Denver on Friday 05/23. Great facility (really big) and the care could not have been better. As far as the ablation goes it was successful. I don't have the write up yet from the doctor, but the procedure took about 4 hours. After the initial ablation, they got my heart back into Afib so they could find other potential areas for ablation. While doing this they found problems associated with flutter in both the left and right atrial and so more ablation. That was the reason for the 4 hour procedure. They accessed the heart through two places on both side of my groin so I have two small incisions that will need to heal. I have no real pain and the only thing I feel is a little sluggish which was probably caused by all of the walking I had to do at the airport in Denver on Sunday. I am more than happy with the procedure that was done and the results. I will be on Eliquis and metoprolol for some period of time and then off of both of these meds.
