My mother had cardiac ablation when she was 91, and had absolutely no problems whatsoever. She lived for seven more years - and her cause of death was not heart-related.

Hoping for the best for you, too!

@gb76 Thanks for your example of how age should not, in and of itself, be a determinant of one's suitability for any procedure. And I'll bet you were most grateful for those extra years of reminiscences, stories, history, laughter, and shared meals.
