Thanks again Mary for good detail. Appears Mapping was very important to id all the bad signals. Then robot - had not heard of before. Appears Dr Deshmakh uses all latest technology. My dr here in WA did not use mapping at all.

The key to successful procedure is the EP cardiologist and how/where he was trained.Mapping is the biggest part and take about 75% of the procedure time. It s key to successful results.
The EP doc has to know what he is doing. Not all are created equal. I have a friend who had an ablation somewhere else. Then a second time at Mayo who told him his first ablation had really screwed- up mapping. It took Mayo a long time in the EP lab to get everything straightened out.
