I have an appointment with the Mayo Clinic on April 29th. They have also set up myectomy for May 1 if the test results on the 29th agree with my test results here in St. Louis. My doctor here in St. Louis has suggested I have an alchohol ablation. I asked for a second opinion through the Mayo Clinic. They mentioned that they consider the myectomy the "gold standard" because they know the long term effects and have had good results for 40 to 50 years. The thought of having open heart surgery scares me, but I am only 31 and the thought of having a procedure done that they don't know the long term effects scares me even more. What are others thoughts of an ablation for someone of my age?
I have some questions for those of you who have been to the Mayo clinic in Rochester. Do they have hotels or housing set up close by for family members? Can I fly directly to Rochester? It is a 10-12 hour drive from St. Louis to Rochester - can I fly after the procedure or am I better off riding in a car? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
