I had this procedure 10Mar11 at London University Hospital in Ontario, Canada. Some discomfort for three days afterwards. I am still on beta blockers (2 months) and Coumadin (3 months). They say I have a 70% chance of never having AF again if I remain AF free for the 3 month period. After 8 years finally a fix. I highly recomend London University. MY

I had this surgery for my SVT in 2000 when I was 14. It was a quick recovery and worked well for me. However, recently i have been having problems and am due to have it done again.

It all depends on the person but it is always a possibility another 'misfire' could happen and a decade seams to be indicative of when it is most likely to happen again if it dose.

My son had this procedure done at age 4. SVT diagnosed in utero. It was the best thing we could ever have done. The next day he was back to normal and have had no problems in the last 6 years. The procedure took 5 hours to complete

I was diagnosed with SVT and had this surgery when I was 16 in 2005. Best decision ever to make and I have never had any problems or any SVT-like symptoms since. No complications from the surgery at all. :)

i had this done in october.

i am doing very well, and participating in track this year.

i am happy that i had such an amazing doctor to get me throught it all & my family that came and was there for me.

if anyone out there is getting this done, it took about 5 hours to fix mine since it was close to the normal heart tissue that was imperative it didnt get touched. but i am doing very well, i was very nauseated afterwards but finally had something to drink and some food & was better after that.

I'm having this procedure done on Tues and am scared. I do know what to expect and know all the risks associated with it, but fear that it will not work for me and I will have to have a pacemaker put in. They tell me it is genetic and I inherited this from my fathers side of the family.
