Not a good candidate for repeat ablation

If the comment is "not a good candidate" then I would advise you and your husband to talk to whomever did the ablation and ask for a more definitive diagnosis. There are many factors that may impact the ability to have another ablation and rather than stress over this comment ask for more information. The medical profession can at times be very conservative in their approach to providing care and this may just be one of those times. Like they say, information is king. So get more information.

I agree with suerte-get more information and also a second or even third opinion if you haven’t already.

Knowledge is the key to understanding. Ask the person whose note says that your hubby is no longer a candidate for a repeat ablation, and why. Even so, please do, emphatically, consult another top-tier EP and see if that person has the confidence in your husband that the first EP does not. If you have financial resources and can travel, and want the very best to take a hard look at your husband's circumstances, look to Dr. Andre Natale at Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute in Austin. People, without a word of a lie, fly from all over the globe to be seen by him. He's that good.

If you haven't already done so, I recommend stopafib.org which has a wealth of information and puts on a 3 day conference each august in Dallas. Dr. Natale has presented at these conferences. There's also videos from past conferences as well as user forum like this one.

I have had only one ablation; it has been almost 3 months and seems to have worked in stopping the A-fib. I now have premature supraventricular contractions sporatically, but my cardiologist tells me I am 100 times better off than before; he says they are commone and even teenagers have them. Just ask the EP what he means by his note. Communication is the key.
