A member asked:
I recently been diagnosed with svt. i decided to have the ablation done. i'm extremely scared to do this. is this a common procedure and is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, usually: In experienced hands it is a very safe and successful procedure. Volume equates to better outcomes for most procedures, meaning you want someone who has done thousands of procedures and not just a few and want it to be done at a high volume center.
