I have a question for y'all. Is there anyone who has had AV Node ablation, and if so, how are you feeling now? I already have a pacemaker, so that is not a problem. This is a consideration that I have to chew on. I have to decide if trying another ablation for the Atrial Flutter is an option or if I should just go for the AV node ablation from he get-go? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

No, I have not. After testing there has been no follow up from the Dr.
I requested a letter from the Dr. about my CAD. The nurse called me back
saying the Dr. wanted to know what I wanted. I felt he was playing games.
All they said is I have a 1 percent chance for a heart attack.
I am frustrated with Kaisers doctors
My hip is bad. It has developed degenerative issues. Walking, getting up
and down is most difficult. I live in chronic pain. This week I was put on
meds, for pain.
Mon they are sending home health to my house. I need a hip replacement the
Dr. is booked out 6-9 months. I requested to go outside of Kaiser. They
are seeking approval.
I feel like a tiger! I am not sure what an ablation is. This is new to me.
I may have read a post but forgotten.

I had AV node ablation on October 9, 2024, because they weren't able to do the other ablation. I had too much scar tissue. I also already had a defibrillator. I'm doing well, but am in Atrial Tachycardia all the time now. I don't notice any symptoms this time though. I see my cardiologist in October and will talk to him about it.
Thanks for asking the question, I will be following for answers.I think an ablation is in my future, but I’m not sure of the type.
I had an AV Node Ablation in 2021. (I already had an implanted pacemaker.) I not sure how the ablation has impacted my cardio heath. The procedure took about 45 mins. The I went to a recovery room for 2 hours after the procedure. When told I could leave, I couldn’t breathe. The nurse gave me oxygen, than more oxygen , then more oxygen, then I passed out. They ordered the pulmonary “crash team” to save me ! I had pulmonary edema. They intubated me over night. The next afternoon, they removed the tube and I was fine. Close call! My cardio doc said the procedure went perfectly. He couldn’t explain what happened. But, I’m still alive at 80 years old and enjoying every day! It’s a gift !
