I've had 3. My cardio who also happened to be the head of the dept. at the university felt my heart was about as good as it's going to get. I still get tachy bursts but they last less than a minute. I get premature beats but they cause no hard. And my atrial flutter is gone. I'm pretty darn happy with all of this. What I had before was not easy to live with.

I'm not really sure there is a limit. I think the cardiologist would reconsider if nothing is working after so many procedures. I have a friend who has just received his 6th ablation.
