Ablation with blocked artery

[Guest guest]

With respect to ablation, is there any reason why having a blocked

artery, albeit with no major impacts other than to monitor the usaul

lifstyle and cholesterol etc, will impact an ablation procedure, or

indeed make it less succesful?

I've got quite a history of heart problem dating back to 1983 when I

had my first 4x bypass surgery. Since then I've had another bypass

and about 6 balloon angioplasties and a stent put in my heart artery.

When I expressed concern about going through an ablation to my EP he

said there shouldn't be a problem and that it could be safely done.

Dr Natale at the CC told that depending on how much scar tissue I

have from the operations would depend on the success of the

ablation. He said it could drop to around 40% to 50% if there's a

lot of scarring present.
