The Most Venerable Pa-Auk Tawya Sayadawgyi received a special medical procedure for his heart condition in Singapore on 15 November, and the “AV Node Ablation” procedure was completed successfully, according to Pa-Auk Meditation Centre(Singapore).
Sayadawgyi is now returned to the ward for recuperation. The medical team overseeing Sayadawgyi’s care has emphasized the significance of ample rest for Sayadawgyi’s recovery although the operation procedure is completed successfully. So, there will be no visitors to Sayadawgyi until further notice.
Sayadawgyi will remain hospitalized for ongoing observation and treatment.
Sayadawgyi arrived in Singapore on 10 November to receive a medical treatment.
AV (atrioventricular) node ablation is a treatment for an irregularly fast and disorganized heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. It uses heat (radiofrequency) energy to destroy a small amount of tissue between the upper and lower chambers of the heart ( AV node).
