Are there any problems after an ablation for AVNRT?
HAD 2 ABLATIONS FOR AVNRT (FORM OF SVT). FIRST WAS UNSUCCESSFUL – SVT BACK WITHIN 4 WEEKS AND WORSE THAN EVER. HAD SECOND ABLATION 6/22/06. AFTER SECOND ABLATION WAS HAVING SINUS TACH – UP TO 160BPM FROM MIN.
When to declare success after AF ablation procedure?
The burns irritate the heart, and as they heal (expand), over days to weeks, the irregular rhythm can resolve. This is why we have what’s called a waiting period (6-8 weeks) after the procedure before we declare success–or not.
Can you go back for another catheter ablation?
Only people with A-Fib appreciate how wonderful it is to be in ‘Normal Sinus Rhythm’ (NSR). For most of us, catheter ablation provides “acceptable” long-term relief from A-Fib. And it’s comforting to know, you can go back for another ablation, if you need it.
When does the tachycardia go away after an ablation?
One thing I wanted to mention – for the first 4 weeks after the 2nd ablation I had the tachycardia really bad and only had a few skipped beats here and there. When they put me back on the beta blockers, the tachy. subsided and I went straight into the skipped beats – maybe the tachy masks the skipped beats??
How long does it take to do ventricular tachycardia ablation?
Radiofrequency ablation or cryoablation can be used during epicardial ablation. Sometimes ventricular tachycardia ablation involves treatment inside the heart and outside the heart at the same time. Ventricular tachycardia ablation typically takes three to six hours.

How long does an ablation procedure usually last?
“The procedure used to be really long–around ten hours–which is why this myth persists,” Dr. Arkles explains. Thanks to advances in technology and expertise, ablations today generally last between 2 and 3 hours. Ninety percent of ablation patients go home the next day.
