You don't absolutely have to have a GA for a catheter ablation. It helps to keep still, which is important during the mapping, but it is not significantly better statistically over CA (conscious sedation).

I recommend you find an EP who will agree to use CA on you if you would really rather have the ablation.

@gloaming I have AFlutter too. It’s my understanding the PFA doesn’t work on that but it does on Afib . What do know about AFlutter. I am falling apart -lolol
