Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Dear Marcelle and Everyone, Is there anything you'd like me to ask at the Boston A-Fib Symposium this month? The fire in Malibu came within 400 yards of our home. Then the winds shifted away from us! California is blessed with really great and well organized fire fighters. They stayed at our house all night. I've cleared out all the brush and Eucalyptus trees within 250 yards, but I still have to put in a water storage tank. Living in malibu isn't always as great as it sounds. A-FibFriendSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Steve, I'll be out of town during the Boston meeting. But! There are many A Fibbers who are on the fence who want the PVA procedure but are apprehensive for many reasons. One of the most common is that the procedure has not advanced to a point that they feel safe and the success rates aren't asured and touch up PVA's are neccessary in many cases. Do the EP's think they will be able to answer any of these concerns, to the point that fence sitters will get the PVA. Thanks Rich O I was in Buffalo and the Finger Lake Region (Canandaigua) over the holidays. Christmas we had 30 " of snow. It was great!!! (My wife's sisters live out there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-FibFriendSteve Hi steve, thanks for asking! I'd like to know wht the chances are for permanent chronic afib cure with this new procedure from the French Drs in Bordeaux. I'm seriously thinking that that is where I'd go IF i decide on a 2nd trial. or maybe Cleveland clinic Dr Natale. Or, like many people are saying just wait until the procedure is perfected!. Also if you hear anything about trying a cardioversion after a failed PVA---how successful is THAT? 5 months later! I'd love to know this because this is what My ep is suggesting! please try to find that out if you can & report back as soon as you get home! sure hope these Drs have something new up their sleeve for all of us! thanks again! Wish i could go! Marcelle in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been in afib constant since May 1st---had it done in FL, and was not very happy with the whole way in which it was done. would surely look elsewhere , and not repeat with same Dr/ same hospital.I sure don't want to go multiple times, especially with the terrible experience I had,so I sure would like the next time to be the last time---I may have to wait until I hear really high percentages of success with persistent/chronic afib.
