Shearin,
The EP that performed my ablation in Houston told me that formation of fibrous tissue could cause afib recurrence regardless of whether I chose maze or pva/i and would therefore be a cause for touch-up ablations later.
I do have lots of fibrous tissue possibly caused from many years of medications for afib and to help control pvc's.I hope this is not the case with Paul.
