See how a Canadian patient with atrial fibrillation traveled to Zurich for pulsed-field ablation (PFA)—with no waiting list, a smooth process, and a quick return home. In this video, our patient shares what it’s really like to travel from Canada to Switzerland for AFib treatment: from the initial contact and review of medical records, through the video consultation, to the hospital stay and follow-up care.
You’ll see how our international patient team coordinates appointments, travel dates, and organizational processes so that everything can be completed on-site within a few days. PFA is a newer catheter ablation technology designed to specifically target the tissue responsible for atrial fibrillation while sparing surrounding structures as much as possible. We also explain the significance of this procedure within the current range of treatment options for AFib.
If you live in Canada, suffer from symptomatic atrial fibrillation, and are facing long wait times for ablation, this story can help you assess whether treatment in Zurich might be an option for you. Talk to your cardiologist about your individual situation and possible referral options.
