Sorry Dana, I hate it when the stack replies to a post and it looks like you’re answering one but it’s attached to another. Sounds like you’ve been thru a a lot. Your ablations, may I ask a question, were they the normal kind or the Rogue Cell short circuit like in my heart birth defect? I’ve never met a person with the same defect because it’s a 1 in a million chance. I know my Electrophysiologist and his tram is waiting to go. Thanks for telling me of the misguided message.

Hi Becky , I can't say I've heard that term exacting like your saying it , what I was told was I have hundreds of pathways that are basically rogue as they grew by themselves and don't belong there. And when they would go in and try and map the ones affecting the pacing of my heart. When they found a pathway that was causing an issue they would ablate it with either freezing or heat to shut off that path. Now I had so many their wasnt always time to find them all and also some were in places where they could not reach so ultimately the transplant was needed. So it may just be terminology but what your describing does sound similar. I know one doctor said I could have had over a thousand . The last effort they had was to try an MRI which typically can't be done with a pacemaker , since the magnetic waves would bounce off of it and make it hard to see what they wanted to see. Plus I was in a state that shutting off the pacemaker which was required ment a whole team of both Cardiologist and The techs for the pacemaker company were in the room during it. They tried for a few hours to try and determine where the bad paths were but it was unsuccessful. All I know is Mayo is a great place to be when you have the tought cases. And mine sure had them trying everything. So my doctors usually used terms like bad paths and I guess rougue could be a term to describe them also.
