FACILITIES PERFORMING PULMONARY VEIN ABLATION (ISOLATION)
Here is an evolving list of the medical facilities in the U.S. and Internationally. Also listed are doctors doing Cryo Ablation:
- A-Fib Facilities in the US Listed by State
- A-Fib Facilities in the US Listed Alphabetically
- International Centers
- Doctors Using Cryo Ablation
- Surgeons performing Maze and Mini-Maze operations
- Specialists in Persistent/Chronic A-Fib (This list is very short. The author welcomes input to expand this list.)
(Author's note: in this author's opinion the most well known centers in the US that have the most experience in performing Pulmonary Vein Ablations (Isolations) are: the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Johns Hopkins Un. Electrophysiology Service, Massachusetts General Hospital, the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN), the Ohio State University (formerly associated with Riverside Methodist Hospital), the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the University of Michigan, and the University of Pennsylvania. The author has no ties to these facilities and has not visited their facilities nor been treated by their staff. This is an opinionated list done by the author alone, and may have significant errors of omission.)
Since Pulmonary Vein Ablation (Isolation) is a relatively
new procedure, try to select facilities and doctors who are more experienced
with it. (You get better service if you ask for a specific doctor or his/her
nurse. When you call, sound like you know the doctor.) Many Doctors listed below have a
"referrals only" policy, which means they won't talk to you directly. You have
to be referred by a Cardiologist.
International medical centers and doctors are listed for the
following countries: Australia,
Canada, Chile, China,
England (United Kingdom),
France,
Germany,
Greece, India, Ireland,
Italy, Japan,
Korea,
Mexico,
The Netherlands,
Singapore,
South Africa,
Spain,
Switzerland, and
Taiwan.
The Doctors listed can also be found in the
Heart Rhythm
Society Web site.
The author has developed a list of
doctors using Cryo Ablation, because he
believes that Cryo (freezing) ablation could become a significant improvement in
ablation technique and be safer for A-Fib patients.
(See Cryo
Ablation in the FAQs section.)
Also included is a list of
surgeons performing Maze
and/or Mini-Maze operations.
For those who have Chronic (all-the-time) A-Fib, there is a
very incomplete list of doctors
specializing in Persistent/Chronic A-Fib.
