Avatar n tn Hi i understand that not all operations are a success..but the operations that he had were q success...my frustration is in the last 4 month we have never been made aware that the sight could be lost!

I am not trying to put the blame onto anyone...

Avatar n tn ve been trying to research ablation procedures online, but keep coming up with very different things than what he explained...things like open-heart operations, ones involving incisions in your side, and complete AV node ablations (which my doc ensured me was not what he was talking about). So, if anyone has had this procedure before, i was hoping you could let me know your experiences, and if it ended up helping or not. Thanks!
Avatar m tn Re-operations are generally thought to be higher-risk than first-time operations, but some of the top centers (on the order of Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Texas Heart, Mass General, etc.) are showing re-op mortality and morbidity stats that are very similar to first-time stats.

186737 tn?1269884660 I started the drug to stop the sweating. However, I also found that when I am on the drug my heart rate no longer swings into the 140bpm range without reason like it does otherwise and I also found that I could bend over and pick something up from the floor without blacking out afterwards.
