@gloaming Maybe you misunderstood. I completely understand why my EP wasn't going to do a procedure other than the ablation, which I needed to control my afib. The mitral valve wasn't enough of an issue to require intervention at that point. The fact that I didn't have any afib after about a month after the procedure (which is expected) points to the correct diagnosis and treatment. The cause at that point wasn't the mitral valve, but the aberrant signals coming from my pulmonary arteries/veins - the cryoablation I had fixed that issue as evidenced by no afib since my mitral valve repair. The correct procedures were done in the correct order, and at the correct time.
