If I were you I wouldn’t count on having no more AFIB after ablation. I speak from experience as I had an ablation and less than a month later I had a afib again. I now have pacemaker and am on blood thinner and heart meds. However, I think ablation does work for some. Good luck.

Statistically, she has a 75% probability of a successful ablation. Approximately 25% of all index ablations fail. The solution, in most cases, is a simple redo. The probability of success for second and subsequent ablations runs approximately 85%. So, the odds are in most people's favour.
