just have one followup question for the group...doing the second ablation in three days...of course wondering whether it will work(feeling less confident than prior to first attempt)......the first attempt apparently has not had much if any positive affect...the doctor said he suspects gaps are present as he found a few areas difficult to ablate during the procedure (right pv and cavotricuspid isthmus.).... but am surprised that even if there are some gaps, that the first procedure should have yielded some improvement in symptoms, as most of the signals should be blocked by the lesions that were put in place. has anyone had this experience where the first try had virtually no benefit? would appreciate any additional questions I should be asking before the procedure to be sure the proper preparation is considered...hate to second guess the doc, but am disappointed so far with the outcome. of course hoping round two does the trick...which he accesses at 90%....

my af is paroxysmal and only became symtomatic 4 months ago...have an episode roughly every ten days...(lasting for around 18 hours).....was described as a pretty straight forward procedure for me...(apparently some complications during the positioning off the catheter....)

any thought would help rest my mind as I get ready for the procedure...thanks.....br.Kai
