Is it possible to get svt after having an ablation?

Yes: It can happen often. That means you need more cardiac mapping and burn the extra source of electrical firing in the heart. Sometimes source is missed during the mapping.

Maybe : If there is persistent tachycardia after an ablation either there is another arrhythmia focus or a recurrence of the same focus. Repeat ep testing might be needed after the holter/event monitor documents the tachycardia.

Svt: yes, problem may recur, or you might have a new SVT not related to first SVT or ablation.
