I’ve known four people who had to undergo a second and even a third RF ablation right away because the first (or even second) ones failed. The docs routinely refer to these subsequent ablations as “touchups”, which really means the first procedures were simply failures.
RF ablation is an EXTREMELY demanding procedure and only a few docs can do it well enough to have a decent success rate. Make sure that if you do it, get a doc who has done hundreds, maybe even thousands. Definitely do not get a doc who does just a few a year.
Also, take a really good look at cryoablation done by Dr. Wilber Su in Phoenix as an alternative to RF ablation.
Thanks to you guys for your info. FReepers are first rate, no doubt in my mind. I have garnered some really good info on this thread and greatly appreciate it.
