Please offer feedback. My DH needs a 6th cardiac ablation (5 have failed) to treat atrial flutter. The procedurist in Seattle said my DH is beyond his capablities, and to try those places who do thousands of them. He suggested either Cleveland, Mayo or Johns Hopkins.

He used to have a fib, but a trans-thoracic pulmonary vein abation last spring left him with this a flutter. He's needed several cardioversions. He gets pretty good control with the amiodorone and metoprolol, but our goal is to get him off meds. He's only 55. Thanks for your input!
