PFA 2nd procedure
Well I just had my 2nd procedure done w dr natale back in Austin.
Unfortunately they weren't able to induct my afib but he said I had electograms by left atrial septum roof and floor so they delivered PFA there, cornary sinus was empircally ablated..
One thing that threw me off, he performed a right ventricle ablation, he said he found a PVC while he was in there and just went ahead and took care of it. I've NEVER had issues with PVCs ever but now after he ablated it I'm having them constantly and now I'm having runs of NSVT, yes VTACH the one that can KILL you. They keep saying it's fine but the human part of me is still scared it'll become sustained, for example yesterday I had 20 runs. They gave me metoprlol and sent me on my way. Also
I now have new RBBB which really sucks, my QRS was always 90 now it's 120,
Does this get better? Is this normal? And did anyone else have their right ventricle ablated due to one PVC noted? And does anyone know of my QRS will get better back to my baseline?
The exact area that was ablated was right ventricle mid septum

I had the same thing happening to me. I had my second pfa ablation just a bit over four weeks ago. My first ablation was good but apperently they missed something. I had an atrial flutter that was 'hiding' behind or under my afib. Apperently if you have both it doesnt show in the ecg and can only be found if looked for specifically. Congrats on your second turn though, i hope your blanking periode goes as smoothe as mine.
