Any Ablation Success Stories?

I checked out a few of Dr Lee's videos. They're ok. The one about skipped beats (PVCs and PACs) was fairly informative and reassuring, although he didn't address the significance of PVC or PAC burden. I also thought he could use better visual aids in explaining heart anatomy. Too much hand waving. Those stock images and animated clips of a beating heart and fire-fighters battling forest fires, weren't particularly informative.

Burden is something I have been looking at for a couple of years now trying to nail it down in a range. I have read several articles and have found that they're a bit wishy-washy about stating a definitive number above which is can be considered onerous or even dangerous. I saw one claiming that anything over 3% is a cause for concern over time. I've seen 10%, and as low as 70 ectopic beats in a 24 hour period. So I think they're still sorting this problem out and Dr. Lee just doesn't speak to it clearly for fear of being called out over his decision to call X as a burden.
