Cardiac Ablation: My Experience

On June 12, 2024, I had an operation called 'cardiac ablation'. Here I explain the reasons leading to my decision to have this operation. I forgot to mention in the video that I had cryoablation, which entails creating scar tissue via extreme cold. 

I wanted to do this video earlier, but it was better to give you an update only after my three-month checkup. The procedure was straightforward and successful. I'm thankful for the care and expertise of the team at Fribourg Hospital (Fribourg, Switzerland). 

This is a follow-up video on video on my experience with a procedure called 'cardioversion', which I had on April 3, 2024.
