A member asked:
If you've had a previous asd repair with your own tissue, can you still be able to get an ablation for atrial fibrillation decades later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ablation : You can have an ablation after ASD repair but you should go to a referral center where this is done more often. It is much more complicated than a simple Afib ablation
