Failed ablation

I have a brother who had 2 ablations that didn't work. On the third, they did a two step process (can't remember the term, but gloaming had it a few days ago), ....they went in from the outside, then after that healed, the went back inside the heart to complete the procedure. It did the trick! He has been afib free. ...so don't lose hope. Until his third ablation, he had no energy and was constantly out of breath. His only heart med is no 5mg Eliquis morning and night.

My experience was a cryo-ablation by one of the best electrophysiologist in the country (U.S.), and then a mitral valve repair to be now afib free.

Wishing you all the best!

Thanks for the information on this procedure and I will mention this to my Cardiologist.

Take care and God bless!
