That's great news that they are going to use the "balloon" method. Yes that is what I had done. I stayed awake for the whole thing. Went into the cath lab at 8am and came out around 2:30pm. I was...

Hi...I had an ablation for VT done (4 times actually). Each recovery I was only about a week. I am sure getting the pacemaker put in as well makes it a longer recovery time for you. Have you asked...
Good luck today Lil...you are in my thoughts and prayers....
I feel great! Thanks for asking. I have had a few small short runs of VT that each lasted about 10 seconds...that's it. The docs said to expect that while healing. I have a lot of energy again. It's...
