Ablation, when it “didn’t work” or "made things worse"

Oh no, I'm sorry you feel my post is odd. I thought it was informative. But maybe would you find any post that points out challenges in the ablation process "odd"?
And the point about the skill of the EP is spot on. We do indeed depend on people knowing what they are doing from the pilot to the cardiologist.

I see my typo on doc, but you knew what I meant. My husband had an ablation in 2019 and has been in normal sinus rhythm since. He did have a first-rate doc and that is crucial. Its fine to point out negatives, but they may be outweighed by gains when ablation is done well. Its seems to me when ablations fail and need repeats, its because of doc. Success rates are over 75% I believe.
