Q: Catheter Ablation Question For COMMUNITY MEMBERS!

I'm looking for information from Community Members who have had a catheter ablation for severe SVT.  If you could include your personal experiences including the pros and cons, and any tips that would help to prepare for the procedure and post-procedure limitations.  Also, have any of you been in the small minority where a pace-maker had to be implanted?  Also did you have the 6 hour procedure and have to do this as an in-patient.  My Dr. say's I have to do it this way due to bleeding complications and other problems.

 

If you have any thing else to add, that you think is important please do.

 

Thanks in advance...

 

Pam
