My electrophysiologist said it was entirely dependent on the patient. In my case, she said I was in good health and "young for my age" so she had no concerns about ablations for me.

I think I already knew your answer but was just curious if there was a practical physical limit to how many ablations even a "young for your age" patient could under go.

There must be a limit I would think that after a certain number of unsuccessful procedures they would say it's just doesn't look like it will work.
Keep getting younger🥰
