Failed ablation, what next?

I had ablation Sept 8 and felt great for 8days then back into afib. My son talked to EP and was told if this didn't work, as he did not think it would because of the damage to my heart for having afib so long, He would do a pacemaker. Has anyone had this done as a help for AFIB.

@scottbliz
Sorry to hear that. Very frustrating. Can I ask how long you had AF and about how many episodes before you had ablation?

@scottbhiliz hi, sorry for your condition. I've had 4 ablation 3 for a-fib 1 for tachycardia. Burnt so much of the nodes have complete heart block. Had to be rushed in to have urgent pacemaker. Heart was stopping for 20-30 seconds. Had to hold on to something so not to fall over. Did flecenide, metropolol warfrin, aortic valve replacement, was by cupid with severe regurgitation. On second pacemaker with 3 leads, and still have a-fib. Hope your EP is better than mine and your condition improves. Good luck!
