Vilnius, Lithuania -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/13/2016 -- Ablation does involve a very small amount of risk and is suggested for patients when medications or resetting heartbeat do not work.

Victoria M., a 28-year old patient from the United States, has been having irregular heartbeat for years when her doctor prescribed medications first time.

"I started taking prescribed medications and all possible side effects started to occur – I did not see any improvement in my condition, and the side effects have been negatively affecting most areas of my life dramatically. I wanted to stop taking the medications as soon as my doctor would allow – I was then presented an option of ablation, which according to my doctor, would be a good option for me." – says the patient.

Ablation procedure cost is more than a few thousand dollars in the U.S., which is a big amount for patients, especially those who do not have insurance coverage for such procedures.

Victoria M. has been patiently waiting for the ablation procedure – however, the doctors were not able to perform the ablation on the day scheduled due to the heart rhythms of the patient – the preparation was done, the patient was there, but the procedure could not be performed.

"I was then introduced to one of the leading heart surgeons in Vilnius, Lithuania – we discussed my case over the phone, and I have provided my medical records to the surgeon. Next day the surgeon has confirmed that they can perform the procedure. Two months later I had the ablation performed in the leading private general hospital in Vilnius – Kardiolita Hospital. We have prepared well, the doctors were extremely professional – and the cost of the procedure was more than twice lower even with all travel expenses added." - adds Victoria M.

"If the patient's heart rhythm does not allow to perform ablation on a scheduled day, we reschedule for another day – the visit is not lost and we only charge the patient when the procedure has been performed. Heart patients worldwide, if they research just a little online, they know Lithuanian heart surgeons and specialists are some of the best in the world" – says Andrius Jonutis, General Deputy Manager at Kardiolita Hospital – the leading private hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania.
