It's great to hear you're feeling fine after your CTO PCI (Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention). However, experiencing 20% PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) and difficulty improving your cardio can be concerning.

It's great to hear you're feeling fine after your CTO PCI (Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention). However, experiencing 20% PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) and difficulty improving your cardio can be concerning.

Regarding ablation after stenting, here are some relevant points from the knowledge base:

- Ablation Procedures: Ablation can be used to treat arrhythmias like AFib (Atrial Fibrillation) by destroying cells that cause irregular heartbeats. This can be done using cryotherapy, radiofrequency waves, or heat.
- Success and Recurrence: Ablation can be initially successful, but there's a chance that arrhythmias can return, necessitating another procedure.
- Considerations: If you have had other heart surgeries, certain ablation procedures might not be recommended.

It's important to discuss your symptoms and treatment options with your cardiologist to determine the best course of action for your specific condition.
