AFib and PM

I didn't have a valve replacement but I did have bypass surgery, with a Maze precedure, and LAA closure.  The Maze procedure, indended to fix my Afib, caused a highly symptomatic progression of Aflutter, which is why I had the AV node ablation.

You need to give us more detail before we can understand your situation.  Afib, by itself, isn't life threatening.  It does require management so that it doesn't cause V-fib or stokes, but this is all well traveled territory.  The issue is how bad your symptoms are and what you're willing to do to feel better. A pacemaker isn't going to "fix" Afib, so there is something else going on.
