FYI: My father had RF ablation in '06, ( not in a CPMC facility, though.). He was told a laser w/b used, but after he was mildly sedated, they made him sign waiver stating RF emitter w/b used (???). The MAZE procedure was of no benefit and post op. complications were severe. Cardiologist later revealed that NONE of his other Afib patients showed any marked post-op. improvement. w. RF MAZE. I recommend you research FDA outcomes for your age group before electing to have this done to you.

@pdickermn what kind of ablation did you get, wide area, pulmonary ?

Just returned from my post ablation appointment. I had the ablation on Nov 30, 2010, and was just given the all clear by Dr Hao. The way he describes the symptoms and the procedure were exactly my experience. Having this video made me much more comfortable and prepared. I'm now fully recovered!

To see how it's done at Johns Hopkins, Google "Adventures in Cardiology"
Great basic explanation. Thanks from someone who was just diagnosed and is trying to figure out exactly what A-fib is and the treatment options.
