@cdk43 - That's great to hear. How long did each ablation last?

@cdk43 my first ablation was not a good experience having been done in a regional hospital and with limited experience of what to expect. If there's one piece of advise I would give, and is reinforced on this site, do your research and, if possible, choose a major teaching facility or clinic (Mayo, Cleveland, Weill Cornell, etc) for the procedure. A well seasoned EP who does ablations multiple times a week, a necessity. If it means taking a plane or train, do it. I was fortunate to have my second ablation done by a reknown EP in New York city, 2 yrs ago, who cleaned up 'a mess' and gave me my life back, although not petfect. And 2 days ago he went back to do a touch up. I believe the third time is the charm for me since for the first time in 4 years my heart feels perfectly normal.
We are all different as patients but experienced EPs are all the same. If possible, settle for nothing less.
As for age, I'm 83 and if I was told in x yrs, I needed another touch up, I'd be all in. Especially as the technology is so rapidly advancing. Good luck
