My cardiologist (not an EP, so he has nothing professional at stake) says there will probably develop several good ways to approach the problem with perhaps guidelines that might steer a solution this way or that if specific circumstances warrant.

I asked him if he did the Pappone procedure, he said that they had tried it several years ago and weren't getting as good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
