A member asked:

If at lad there is stenonis 80% at proximal, rca there is long stenosis 60% at mid & stenting has not be done, whether af ablation can be performed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

1st things first: Ablation can be done but why wasn't the LAD addressed? If you're in an area with expertise to do AF ablation, there must be someone who can dilate your LAD - why was it not done? IT would make sense to do that first unless there is a good reason not to - (like a negative stress test?)
